We also can't remove the social and cultural influences that followed, abaris.
I'm sure the Third Reich had plenty of laws that are very similar to laws on the books across the world today. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.
We need to protect from abuse, especially for vulnerable populations like elderly or poor people who could be convinced by any number of people not to be a financial burden on their families even though they don't want to die yet.
But just like the trans laws, the fact that there could be abuse doesn't mean it still isn't the right thing to do.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
