I've watched perfectly calm and reasonable-sounding people sincerely debate whether some group of other people (queer folks and disabled folks come to mind) have a right to exist that should not be overridden in favor of euthanasia to satisfy their own utility functions.

...

They weren't euthanasia advocates per se

I am confused.

Since Jandila seems to have evaded questions on the claim about euthanasia advocates and the claim about legal forced sterilizations in the eighties, I'm inclined to assume those aren't exactly true, or at least are somewhat exaggerated or deformed.

(though in this specific case, she's probably talking about hypothetical anti-gay-rights activists or something that aren't particularly euthanasia advocates, but are advocating euthanasia of queers or something; so there's no inherent contradiction, I just suspect it didn't happen as described)
