I agree, of course there are no guarantees. Well, I expect it’s essentially a guarantee that there will be some of all of the above, and only the balance is in question.
I guess my response to that is… so what? Once we ensure people get enough support, for long enough, that their decisions are actually free choices unforced by desperate circumstances, I’m much more willing to let them bear the consequences of their own decisions. It removes a lot of the moral grey area. Granted I could be convinced the relevant time frame for that kind of shift might be anywhere from “a couple of years” to “multiple generations.”
