Gondring, you may not realize it, but you aren’t any different from all theose folks who say, “So what if Canada has a problem with their health care, we’re a different country” or “All those tales about bad medicine in other countries with universal health care are just lies and horror stories.”

When we open the door to “assisted suicide,” it gets abused. See Oregon and the Netherlands for examples.

Then why fight against making the culture one of respecting patient wishes as supreme?

The Obama-Wagglebee method of making decisions for other people is what leads to things being involuntary. Certainly, if people followed my approach, and the culture respected individual choices, the slippery slope would lead nowhere.

Perhaps that’s why countries with laws respecting the right to die kill off fewer people illegally and involuntarily than those without.
