This rule has some interesting implications for probate courts. Wonder if the soon to be decedent is rich and the relatives are in a hurry? The doctor is named as taking under the will? Millions are left to "science?"
Now the death lovers have the "right to die" Tomorrow will they have the "duty to die?" After all Western Civilization is aging and it is expensive to keep all them old codgers alive.
I agree with you. The legalization of euthanasia now makes it not only culturally acceptable, but expected. An elderly, ill person who requires care and consumes financial resources for that care, may begin to feel the burden to consent to euthansia in order to lighten the load on their family.
One more addition to the culture of death that permeates our world. With the Catholic Church dealing with their homosexual priest scandals, their effectiveness and credibility in countering this frightening trend is crippled. Surely people will begin to connect the dots here: the culture of life vs. the culture of death.
