You are wrong about “ its not that hard to kill yourself.” If you are terminal, it is almost impossible to ‘kill yourself”.

And it is not only liberals who want to discuss these issues. What are all the “outraged ‘..so called ‘normally intelligent posters “ afraid of.??? I am not afraid to hear and debate Dr. K. I can’t stand him personally, but it is important to have these discussions and debate!

Depressed people attempt and often succeed at committing suicide every day. Society and the psychiatric community has ALWAYS believed in treating depression so that the depressed DON'T harm themselves or others. Are you suggesting that society should abandon these principles? Are the depressed simply "useless eaters" who place an unnecessary financial burden on the rest of society?

To: wagglebee

uh, and where in heaven’s name did you get that out of any of my comments.

BTW...we are moralistic Morons when it comes to treating pain. On the one hand we criminalize docs who try to help dying people and on the other hand we yap about how ‘terminal people can be helped with their pain.” Uh, there you go...more hypocrisy.
