I know JR and many on this board disagree, but I will say only once what I deeply feel.
The decision to end one’s own life is the most personal intimate and decision one can make. It is between the individual and his/her God or god(s). The State has no business interfering with that decision, and attempts to do so is statism in its worse possible form.
The only individuals who should even be involved in the decision should be those who know and love the person involved — but the person is the final decision-maker. Strangera should butt out completely.
End of rant.
Accurate and eloquently put.
You couldn’t be more wrong. The minute it is a “right” to choose euthanasia or assisted suicide, it will then be expected. Those who don’t will be seen as selfish.
I cannot think of anything more foul than a bunch of relatives subtly letting someone know that staying alive in their condition is selfish.
If you want to check yourself out, fine. Save up your pain pills like everyone else. But don’t put everyone else in the position that relatives and medical people will shame them into it.
Theres no way around it.
Aye. Freedom.
