I'm sure many people also "realize" that wanting to be a TPE slave is a fucked up mindset to begin with. Should that be illegal?
It is illegal. There is no way you can, legally, become a "slave".

I plan to kill myself if I ever get old and sick enough. I'd rather say goodbye and go peacefully than spend the last year in agony unable to care for myself. I really see nothing wrong with it.
Thats euthanasia, something I do support.
Passive euthanasia
Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life.[1]
Active euthanasia
Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means.
The judicial sense of the term "homicide" includes any intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, even to relieve intractable suffering.[12][13][14] Not all homicide is unlawful.[15] Two designations of homicide that carry no criminal punishment are justifiable and excusable homicide.[15] In most countries this is not the status of euthanasia. The term "euthanasia" is usually confined to the active variety; the University of Washington website states that "euthanasia generally means that the physician would act directly, for instance by giving a lethal injection, to end the patient's life".[16] Physician-assisted suicide is thus not classified as euthanasia by the US State of Oregon, where it is legal under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, and despite its name, it is not legally classified as suicide either.[17] Unlike physician-assisted suicide, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatments with patient consent (voluntary) is almost unanimously considered, at least in the United States, to be legal.[18] The use of pain medication in order to relieve suffering, even if it hastens death, has been held as legal in several court decisions.[16]

I'm not too keen on using taxes to pay for people's stupid choices but I think in the long run the cost is negligible enough that the monetary price tag alone isn't enough of a reason to limit people's freedoms.
So you would limit a woman's freedom to chose not to become a mother.
It now costs an average middle-income American family $222,360 to raise a child from birth to 18. That’s 22 percent higher than it was in 1960, adjusted for inflation.
Negligible?
