They should just sell it over the counter like Plan-B and leave us doctors out of it. If people want to kill themselves, let them.

Just as long as they don't kill themselves with a gun. That's "Bad." But killing themselves nonviolently with chemicals is "Good."

Can someone please explain this to me? Because according to Liberals, "Good" and "Bad" apparently don't mean what I always thought they meant.

I agree, if someone is determined to kill themselves, there is no stopping them. But *forcing* a doctor to do this against religious/ethical beliefs is just beyond stupid.

I think requiring a doctor’s note specifying a terminal diagnosis is not a bad idea. The physician is not prescribing the meds, but documenting a poor prognosis. The pharmacist should check id and record for the state the sale of the “kit”. The use of this “kit” should not prevent life insurance payouts when death was imminent anyway.

As for the spiritual side, that’s a whole different story. There will be plenty of people who want no part of it; that’s fine. But for those facing the prospect of slow, painful or degenerative end of life the choice should be theirs.

I hate to bring up images of 9/11, but I never heard discussions from anti-euthanasia people about those poor victims that opted to jump to their deaths rather than perish by fire. I don’t see the difference,.

Makes sense until you realize that would affect pharmacists & young pharmtechs still in training. There's plenty of stuff in most hardware stores that could get the job done quite effectively...
