You think statistics override basic principles of human dignity. I'm merely exposing your argument for the absurdity it is.

> What if it being optional increases death statistics massively?

What else would you like to make mandatory to satisfy your death reduction statistics, I wonder? Vaccines?

Let's just go all the way: you're talking about eliminating human agency, autonomy and free will. You want to replace it with decisions made by committee with optimized outcomes and make them mandatory with force of law.

> Should we really be ideologically driven instead of relying on data and measurable effects?

Yes. Do you not have principles, values you won't compromise on?

I'm definitely not ready to sacrifice my fellow humans on the altar of my own conviction. But hey, you do you!
