The real problem is not any large scale advance in euthanasia, which will not happen until the now very large Baby Boomer generation is out of power, and its voting clout is miniscule. However, after 2030, that could be a serious concern, as the average baby boomer will be about 80 years old and Generation X, Generation Y, and the Millenials may want to eliminate those who they will perceive as being a heavy burden on a medical system that will probably be more socialized.

The real problem is judicial overreach. The back of judicial supremacy in our tripartite system of government must be broken, and the legislative and executive branches need to be empowered to exercise their respective spheres of authority as the Founding Fathers envisioned.

That's why I propose and amendment to the Constitution. Allow an executive finding, matched with a vote of both houses of Congress, to vacate a judicial ruling. Let the states follow suit with appropriate laws or amendments. Details like the maximum time which can elapse before the other two branches take office and the size of the majority required in each house can be worked out. But provide an opportunity for the elected officials to b*tch-slap the courts when they step out of line.

Shalom.
