While there are many positive effects of a plant based diet, both for personal and planetary health, it lacks many nutrients that one gets from eating meat. A fully plant-based diet is also a privilege, it can be costly compared to an omnivorous diet.

It also erases indigenous people's often meat-based diets, especially in cases like the Inuit people who would not be able to function as meat is the main source of their nutrition due to the cold temperatures preventing the majority of agriculture.

On top of that, the main issue isn't the health benefits of a plant-based diet. It's the cruelty of the meat and dairy industry, and if this was to be resolved (a relatively plausible idea), then it would be much more sustainable for the world as a whole to continue eating meat.

Depends heavily on the situation. If a mentally unstable person having a depressive or psychotic episode wants medically assisted suicide, someone who could very well change their mind with assistance of medication and/or therapy, they really shouldn't be allowed as they aren't in the right frame of mind to make that choice.

However, if an person with a terminal illness whose suffering would only continue to get worse the longer they lived, until they would eventually die a slow and painful death, would anesthesia not be a better option?
