"Pain meds...yes. A large enough dose intentionally to kill you...no."

So how does this work. If a patient takes two or three days worth of pain meds they will die. Following you line of thought a doctor could only give a patient a day or day and a half worth of pain meds at a time? Ya, right. You are going to make a terminally ill patient run back and forth to the pharmacy every day? Or are you counting on them to always have others there to do it for them? If they can't find others to do this then they do without their pain meds and die in agony. How about if they hoard half of their meds for 4 days? How are you going to stop that?

Sure, this works perfectly.

How about if the do-gooders get their nose out of others lives and let them make their own decisions. If they have to deal with God so be it but in the mean it is not your place to play god and make that decision.

I've always laughed about the laws against suicide. What are you really going to do with those laws? Are you going to arrest someone who successfully commits suicide?

And how do you know they wanted to die?

All you’ve got is a dead body. Maybe even a piece of paper.

But it’s the “off your enemy and have no questions asked” bill

That’s what death panels do.

So, I disapprove of death panels. Do you?

“I’ve always laughed about the laws against suicide. “

I’ve always believed the only reason for them was to protect the life insurance companies from having to pay out. As you said, watta gunna do, arrest ‘em?
