Now that you mention it, I think you're right where you say: 'discreet euthanasia will probably be widely practiced. No family, no visitors -- who would miss them or care?

In Holland, euthanasia is supposed to be voluntary under strict guidelines, but even a Dutch government study from last year admitted that about 20% of euthanasias were involuntary. Who knows how many are people are pressured to commit suicide against their wishes?

Voluntary euthanasia is also legal in Belgium and the State of Oregon.

Hi again,
To many people, life is not sacred. When those people have power over the disenfranchised, I shudder to think what happens when no one else is looking. It is sad. Sometimes even barbaric.
