I think that the reason this is scary is that it's one of those "slippery slope" things. Now it's the people who consent to death. Later it will be those who society volunteers for death.

I can completely understand what you are saying. However, I believe a person's person right to property (their own body) trumps any possible "problems" about society as a whole. It's a personal liberty thing.

I see your point from a Libertarian point of view, but it still doesn't sit right with me. I don't like the idea of involving someone else in the process of killing oneself. In this case, a doctor. Doctors are supposed to protect life, not eliminate it.
