The society needs people to stay alive as they need workers. Also many people are under a delusion that life is always worth living. If euthanasia was legal it would shatter their false beliefs. Many people live in denial of the fact that things can get that bad that one would consider ctb. Therefore they dismiss all suicidal people as being irrational, when suicide can be a perfectly rational response to someone coming to the conclusion that their life is not worth living. I see it as cruel how we are denied peaceful methods, it is our life, our decision and nobody else has any say in it. Nobody should have to resort to painful methods that could fail.
