If you are the kind of person that would let your loved one die screaming, then I'm glad I don't know you.
The State of Oregon, in the exercise of its police powers, has approved physicians prescribing and administering life-ending drugs to certain patients. The U.S. Constitution gives the federal government absolutely no power to regulate in this area. (And please don't prattle on about "interstate commerce" and "general welfare." That's an incorrect interpretation.)
Naturally, the Weekly Standard is overjoyed at this usurpation by the federal government. I can't wait to see the look on their neo-conservative faces when some county sheriffs start telling federal agents, "Gosh darn it, I know that's what the Endangered Species Act says but our deputies are spread so thin I just don't know if we can guarantee your safety in this county."
If we don't have the right to end our own lives then we don't have the right to extend our own lives. If you get sick don't take meds or use our hospitals.
