"A living will will deny the courts a decision on your fate!

If the courts ignore a subpoena, ignore a law passed by Congress and signed by the President himself, what is going to make them honor a living will drawn up by a mere citizen?"

What will be 'living' about it really? How will the words be interpreted? Will its presence be tied to Medicare/caid or Social Security benefits or other health care benefits? What terms and language must be present to protect life?

Of course, absent any 'living will,' perhaps we'll just be sent to the camps. I am actually not being that facetious. This is going to be a dark and terrible time, especially given that so many people appear only too glad to blithely go along.

You know, with the precedent now set for court ordered murder (which is what this is), I can envision a scenario in the not too distant future whereby this type of thing is what will "solve" the coming Medicare/Social Security crisis. After all, abortion helped create the crisis, so why should anyone be shocked if euthanasia is ultimately viewed as the solution.

Yes, it is indeed much, much worse than any right to die argument.
