You cant sell death panels until you convince Americans that dying without fighting, is noble.
Who said anything about not fighting? We’re talking about EXTRAORDINARY to keep a shell of a body “alive” when there is no hope whatsoever the person will ever get better/cured. If you want to hang on as long as possible in an ICU bed with tubes sticking out of you, crapping your diaper, in constant excruciating pain, and pumped so full of drugs you don’t even know your name, then hells bells, go for it. Be as “heroic” and “dignified” and “noble” as you wish.
That wasn’t the case with his doctor friend, and it isn’t what the left (and time) has been pushing for 40 years.
