I have noticed that a lot of long-time FReepers no longer deny that we are on a slippery slope and that the “right” to die is about to become a mandatory duty.
Over ten years ago I witnessed a young (under 30) PA excitedly tell everyone within earshot that her parents had joined what was then known as the Hemlock Society. This was at a fundraiser for cancer research. Everyone within earshot was in their 40s and either a medical professional or related to one. Everyone reacted positively or was silent.
I was in my mid-50s at the time. Today, I find myself wondering if the living will envy the dead, if this comes to pass.
