This is something that was always on the back of my mind, that no matter what one says or has, no matter how logical or rational one is, pro-lifers will always see it as black and white. This means pro-lifers will always see it as you either are pro-life and against CTB as an option, or you are pro-death (even if you are pro-choice). There is nothing more misleading and wrong with their slanderous claim of how being pro-choice (respecting another person's wish to die with dignity, on their own terms) is being pro-death or pro-CTB.
A little mini-story (back in uni, when I was 20 years of age):
Back as a uni student more than a decade ago, I had a childhood friend who was also in uni (he goes to a different uni than me, and he double majored in psychology and history). He is very intelligent and logical, in fact, he enjoyed great academic success and what not. His upbringing was similar to mine too, albeit slightly differently. He too, had strict, authoritative parents who always kept close tabs on him and monitored him (when he was a child all the way up until he was in college).
Anyways, so while I was in college (keep in mind this was when I've learned about the right to die and the topic of euthanasia for terminally ill patients, people), I wanted to write a book or at least some short publications about why the right to die and why CTB is an option. Then my childhood friend told me it was a very bad idea because I could end up getting 'sued' by many people who have lost loved ones to CTB and/or other causes. He had a good point and this made me realize that even in our society, which is filled with NPC normies, and generally pro-lifers, they are so against the idea of death. They don't view the freedom to choose one's own death on one's own terms as a fundamental human right, but rather as a medical illness that must be treated (I believe I have written articles about how CTB should be demedicalized and viewed more from a human rights and civil rights perspective.). So back to my story, he told me that no publisher would ever wish to do so and if people found out my real name if/when I do write books, novels, or essays on CTB, I would get into serious legal troubles and other difficulties in life.
So in conclusion, this goes to show how delusional the majority of society (NPC Normies no less) are when it comes to the topic of death, let alone CTB. They don't view CTB with the lens of freedom and civil rights, but rather as an irrational mind, mental illness, and medical problem. So until the attitude changes in how people see CTB, it will be very hard to try to convince others about the right to die as a voluntary choice.
