Morally no one is required to get extraordinary treatment.

and the complaint doctors keep alive cripples who would be better off dead goes back to Plato so don't blame modern medicine.

this suicide is based on a fantasy that makes he the heroine of her own heroic story.... and of course sympathetic stories in the media will inspire more suicides.

and it will inspire more people to pressure their relatives to die, and result in a lot of stealth killing by relatives and medical personnel.

this of course will save lots of money for Obamacare.

I didn’t blame modern medicine. I blamed the medical-industrial complex, which includes insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, and the drug companies that all work to treat rather than cure. And it’s not a 100% thing. Almost all the time, they do what is moral and legal and right for the patient.

You call this woman’s suicide a fantasy. It’s also a fantasy to believe that she would be cured of her disease. In one fantasy, she suffers so people can make money off her. In the other fantasy, she dies with a feeling of empowerment.
