Chronic pain IS NOT a terminal condition. I’m not saying that it is right to deny necessary medication to chronic pain sufferers, but there is a difference.

There is not a difference.

Denying treatment to patients based on superstition is criminal, even if you don't give a shit about the target.

Yes there is a difference.

In post #4 you said this:

The War on (Some) Drugs doesn't believe in "palliative" drug therapy for the terminally ill.

They're all criminals, as well as the doctors who prescribe the palliative doses.

This thread is about palliative care vs. euthanasia/assisted suicide.

There is no evidence that the terminally ill are denied ample pain medication.

I'm not going to argue with you about drug laws because they have NOTHING to do with this thread.
