He’s 82. The oldest baby boomer is 77-a bit too young to think of going out that way. He knew it was time and a great bunch of us will know soon enough. Why fly to Switzerland? It will be the next big issue here. It should not be up to God. If someone wants to off themselves in the prime of life it’s up to them. In an 82 year-olds case the government will have an interest in getting these people out of the way. Slippery slope? When one stops eating and enjoying life they’ll know it’s time.
Drugs in old folks homes should be legal. Ecstasy would work.
Opus?
Everything is up to God. Go insult God on some Democratic Party forum, please.
“When one stops eating and enjoying life they’ll know it’s time.”
When you’re in constant pain, can’t put on your own socks and shoes, can’t wipe your own butt, feeling you’re a big burden to your loved ones, no chance of getting better... it’s time.
You can kill yourself without going to Switzerland. We all know the methods.
No need to involve the medical profession.
The trouble with this attitude is as usual, Democrats.
Libertarianistically speaking, you’ve got a good point. People should be able to choose the when and where for their end. However, the democrats will see that as an opportunity for depopulation. Remember when abortion was supposed to be a tragedy and safe, legal and rare? 20 years later it’s Shout your abortion and demands for abortion up to the age of 18. Burn down churches that provide actual healthcare to pregnant women.
Imagine the day when physician assisted suicide is ‘safe, legal and rare’. It’s a tragedy and it’s sad but people choose it as an option. Shortly, (20 years) democrats will demand that due to ‘climate change’ the global citizen, with certain exceptions for politicians, celebrities and rich dilettantes, are required to submit to depopulation after 77th year. Then a government requirement for forced termination. It will be sold as doing your duty to maintain a sustainable environment.
Physician assisted suicide is a capitulation to the left. It destigmatizes and then institutionalizes the practice. We know that every time you compromise or capitulate with a democrat they will demand more. That’s because they are ‘progressive’, which is a euphemism for incrementalist. You can’t compromise with incrementalist democrats. That which is not mandatory, is forbidden! They’re insane, and you dont compromise with crazy. They don’t respect life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.
Don’t Do It!
