Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

This place is full of raving lunatics.
I'm not used to a world where left wing thoughts are this stupid and ill informed. That's the realm of right wing media, ime.
You're not even acknowledging any of my argument.
It's so fucking weird.
You realise pro-euthanasia is a left-wing position?
I'm centre-left, so in this circumstance you're the raving left-winger (along with everyone else here).
Let me distill your argument
Premises
Then you construct an analogous argument
Conclusion Because it is permissible to kill ducks to alleviate their suffering it is therefore permissible to kill humans to alleviate their suffering.
Now the error is actually on premise 3. You make a deductive claim that it is permissible to kill ducks because they are suffering. But this is faulty, it is permissible to kill ducks regardless of whether they are suffering, because as cited before they are ducks. Therefore your claim that it is permissible to kill ducks who are suffering is at best indeterminate, we would need to show that it is uniquely permissible to kill ducks only if they are suffering because the corresponding circumstance in humans is creating a unique exception to prohibition against active killing.
TLDR: Pretty sure either I know your argument better than you do OR you are awful at communication.
