What's political about it? Quit trying to shut down a discussion because you don't like what it implies.
The 80 year old that visits his kids had a choice as well. So did the person that has multiple comorbidities due to lifestyle decisions.
One side of this dialogue is claiming a moral high-ground and believes that gives them the right do decide which deaths matter and which ones are to be disregarded. How isn't that putting your thumb on the scale?
If you're going to try to make this decision purely from a public health perspective, then the impacts this makes on people's mental health is absolutely relevant to the discussion.
