“Exactly. And it’s not a very “conservative” position to suggest that the government should be allowed to force people to suffer through years of misery when they want to die. People’s lives belong to themselves, not to the government.”
Ahh but in most cases it won’t be the people making this decision. Look to Norway as an example. Its up to the doctors as the person is usually incapacitated. Under socialized medicine that doctor must comply with govt funding and care requirements. So in essence it is the govt making the decision.
The movement uses well written articles to draw our sympathy. The real purpose is to eliminate people who do not contribute to society. That is the ultimate goal of this movement.
THIS woman is clearly able to communicate. And when people are so incapacitated that they are not able to communicate, then wishes they previously expressed in writing or by audio recording or other recording method as dictated by disabilities, in front of witnesses, should be followed to the letter. If the wish is “give me a lethal injection if I have been unable to communicate for a week”, then that’s what should happen. The government DOES NOT OWN PEOPLE. Many innocent people who want to have their lives ended quickly and painlessly are forced to suffer for years against their wills.
