If anyone reads hospice literature or talks to hospice personnel, you will see that they do provide pain meds and are on the forefront of not worrying about whether a terminal cancer patient will become “addicted” to them.
The argument is specious and without merit.
Regarding the slippery slope argument above, and “looking to EU for guidance”, that is not what I meant at all. My point is that once the door is opened for doctors to kill people if they ask for it, then people can and will be coerced or pressured into “asking” for it, or not ask for it at all, or other people will decide it’s the best thing. As IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW in Europe, and will most assuredly happen here if more doc assisted suicide is legalized.
It’s not a question of looking to EU for guidance, it’s a question of leftists who love death wanting to eliminate more useless eaters. It’s a question of people lives’ being valued only if certain criteria are met, and if not met, the lives are considered useless.
If you value life - not just your own, but others’ - then abortion, assisted suicide and euthenasia are all evil, without exception (regarding abortion, if the life of the mother is really at stake, then in IMO it’s good - such as ectopic pregnancy, side note).
“If you value life”, there’s the problem right there. I do believe that some people need killing. No, not the kind, gentle way that prisons do it, I would prefer that many criminals die a slow, painful death that leaves and strong impression on all who have thought about committing the same crime.
Also, you read too fast. Did you not see “at the manufacturers cost”? I am not talking about $18,000 a month to administer drugs to and bath a dying person. I want to see the costs brought down so that they don’t bankrupt the widow.
Read #30 and reply to it, if you can.
