      You know who will feel pressured to put their child through this right now with it being a thing? Parents of lower socioeconomic standing. If you have a lot of resources you will be able to accommodate your sick child better, you might be able to give them dignified natural end of life care. People who have little money, workers, are not in that position. Involuntary killing is always related to class.
