The Reset Cabal will label Conservatism and Patriotism incurable, terminal diseases and will authorize “The State” to begin humane executions.

IMO, a peaceful assisted end to life is a much more dignified way to go

That sounds like a personal decision, not something that should be sponsored by the state. There is a book called Final Exit that shows you how to off yourself painlessly and even lets a family member help you because it's impossible to find in an autopsy. As others have mentioned, once the state gets involved a right becomes an obligation.

Romney qualifies.

I can send you a book or point you to YouTube videos that show you how to kill yourself cheap, clean and easy. You go to sleep and you don’t wake up. That’s up to you. When government gets involved it will eventually be out of your hands.

I don't see anything in the article about state sponsorship. Just that the state won't try to stop you or punish you for your personal decision.

“Right to Die, quickly turns into Duty to Die.”

I used to think that conservatives were all for individual rights and less government control.

“you’re friend could have just stopped eating and especially stop drinking....so he shot himself...better he do it then involve society in it....”

Stop eating and drinking and you will find yourself waking up in a hospital receiving nutrients via a needle in your hand.

Yeah, after this year, I think I’d be fully behind at least half of all Americans getting help in committing suicide.

“I have seen cancer patients first hand in my family suffer till the end in unbelievable agony until the inevitable death, I am too much of a coward to go through that myself.”

After three operations, radiation, chemotherapy and facing more of the same, my father had a discussion with his doctor on the safety of the pain killers he was taking.

The doctor gave him a detailed description of the effects of various dosages.

The state is already involved. Laws.

Spain has national health care. If you’re going to have any kind of medical procedure done the state will be involved in it. They also have private health care for people like me but the overwhelming majority of the population is in socialized medicine.

I believe they originally recommended helium because it is easy to get in canisters. For some reason nitrogen is easier to find in Australia and New Zealand.

Step one.

And it's not a "slippery slope" if the rest is already part of the program, as already implemented in other EU countries.
