I think Euthanesia where you specifically have authorized a professional to end your life humanely, and what the Nazis did to disabled people against their will is a red herring.
The arrogance of some people who think they know better than yourself in how you want to life or end your own life is disturbing.

Whether we are arrogant or not, we know very well that the health care provider you contact to scrag your old'lady, or yourself, might end up having something to do with our own health.

Frankly, I don't want you mucking up the works by tricking me about whether or not my doctor is a Killer Doc or one who adhere's to his creed as a helper.

It's been the experience of humanity over the ages that executioners can and do develop a thirst that extends beyond their initial targets.

What you guys need to do is demand the right to have access to the gurney in the federal prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. Or, simply take care of your personal problem NOW while you still can. Because of your beliefs, I promise you I won't care!

Oh, yes, take the trash out to the walk for weekly collection, and don't leave a mess all over the bathroom ceiling please. We'd like to be able to rent that place without a lot of expense.

The naivete of some people who think family members always have a person's best interests at heart is also disturbing. I wonder how many people have been put to sleep before their time so that an inheritance would be distributed?

What case do you have in mind as an example of this?

Agreed. For example, that Michael Schiavo claims to know how Terri wants/wanted to live or end her life has been very disturbing all along.

I'd make a distinction euthanasia and assisted suicide. The later is what you want to allow, and if you want to kill yourself that's OK by me. If you want help in your clearly expressed desire to die, that's OK too, so long as the medical pression isn't forced to help you.

But Euthanasia occurs precisely when the victim has not clearly expressed a desire to die, but someone want to kill them anyway. It's a form of homocide.
