“We have a moral right to a peaceful death.”
The next step is you have a moral obligation to accept a peaceful death, and no one has to get your permission first.

Yeah...give people the right to free speech, and next thing you know, you'll have an obligation to speak.

Or right to keep and bear arms...and they'll MAKE you do it.

Or right to vote and it will become compulsory.

Or right to assemble, and they'll make you go to rallies.

Or right to worship, and you'll be forced to go to church.

Heck, it's only a matter of time. Look at how half the state of Oregon has been killed off since they partially recognized a right to die.

</sarc>

Tell ya what... rather than focusing on reinforcing a police state where people have no right to die, why not focus on respecting a person's right to self-determination? That way, no matter how things break down, the slippery slope would slope against people forcing things against your will!

Oh, but let me guess...you don't really care about people's individual preferences and rights...you care more about controlling them, right?
