Euthanasia: without the god argument

The only counter argument to euthanasia, if you take away the god argument, is the Slippery Slope argument.

Can you come up with one?

I can generate an infinite number of invalid arguments against euthanasia. Euthanasia causes aids, euthanasia causes cancer, euthanasia causes your children's teeth to fall out

In fact, there could be an algorithm...

As I don't believe that the God argument is a good one against euthanasia anyways (very few religious sects, especially modern, believe in forcibly making everyone follow their rules, and at the heart of Christian ideology is free will and the right to sin and face the consequences), I clearly don't see any good ones from a secular stance.

And you would get an F if you were in a debate class.

indeed, I stopped being interested in "debates" when I learned that there was no necessity to back up or support your arguments.

I don't really care to be an expert at speaking out of my ass

I was just challenging you to come up with an argument that goes against euthanasia without reference to a god. If you can't, then the thread is done.

ok

if you two are done, i'd let to get on with the thread
