Glad you re-posted Kirkland's e-mail!
It brings to mind this little far-fetched thought.
If the conflicting Right to Life and 'right to die' laws remain in effect in ANY state, it won't be long before Felos, or any other shyster will come to the defense of any murderer.
For example, let's say another idiot robs a store and as a result, winds up killing the clerk behind the counter. Shyster lawyer can make the absurd claim the it was the murder victim's "right to die."
Like I said, it is FAR fetched idea, but I can see the ACLU or extreme left pushing for laws to reduce the penalty of murder to nothing but a misdemeanor.
Look how the far left has already made a mockery of our Constitution and BIll Of Rights.

Well, It's doubtful any lawyer could really make a compelling case for that, but the abuse of the conflicting "right to die" versus "right to life" laws is definitely a troubling precursor no matter what state you live in.
If the right to death is given more weight than the right to live in the legal arena, then legal euthanasia is a foregone conclusion, and from their who knows where it will go?
The judicial dictatorship this country is under will be the death of our constitution. Until we reign in these liberal judges, we are all at risk.

Another couple of sinister scenarios are;
A wealthy elderly widow with adult children becomes incapacitated by a stroke. He has no advance directive. The three children decide that they don't want to wait possibly years to receive their inheritance because if they do, the medical bills that will mount for "dear ole dad's" care will eat it away. So the three, in collaboration, decide to concoct a story about how dad, during the long illness of mom, mentioned that he hoped he would never have to endure such circumstances.
or
An older parent with limited financial means becomes incapacitated. He has no advance directive. His projected long term care bill will quickly surpass the limits of his insurance. The adult children realizing they will have to foot the balance of what is not covered by insurance decide parent mentioned that he did not ever want to become a burden to his family.
