I would prefer to keep the government out of end of life decisions for various reasons but I understand that Doctors need protection from the lawyers. :-} I'm open to any ideas on how we might wed those thoughts.
On the matter of euthanasia, a zillion years ago, a professor whom I knew at the University of Michigan Law School, wrote an article about legalized euthanasia, which profoundly affected me. My conclusion at the time, was sort of like the issue of legalized pot. It should remain illegal, even as I enjoyed getting high. Believe it or not, I embraced that notion while inhaling; odd, but true. I enjoyed parsing the abstract. The laws are not all about me. Sometimes the Anglo Saxon virtue of embracing the grey, the muddle, avoiding Cartesian "logical" elegance, is simply common sense. It might be best for Torie to commit a crime when he hastens his exit. Let the DA prosecute his ashes. I can't find the seminal Kamisar article, but
