Euthanasia is considered bad for several reasons, including ethical concerns about the value of human life, the potential for abuse or coercion, and the slippery slope argument that it could lead to involuntary euthanasia or a devaluation of the lives of vulnerable individuals.
the slippery slope
Peter Singer criticizes the slippery slope argument against voluntary euthanasia by asserting that it lacks empirical evidence and is overly speculative. He argues that concerns about potential abuses or unintended consequences should not overshadow the moral legitimacy of allowing individuals the autonomy to choose euthanasia for themselves. Singer emphasizes that safeguards can be implemented to prevent misuse, and that the focus should be on the rights and suffering of those who wish to end their lives rather than hypothetical scenarios. Ultimately, he believes that respecting individual choice is paramount, even in the face of slippery slope concerns.

One notable article against euthanasia is "The Wrongful Life Argument" by David Velleman. In it, Velleman critiques the ethical implications of euthanasia, arguing that it undermines the value of life and can lead to a slippery slope of devaluing vulnerable populations. He emphasizes the importance of palliative care and the moral obligation to support individuals facing terminal illnesses rather than opting for assisted death. This perspective highlights the potential societal dangers of normalizing euthanasia.
