How can anyone think this is a good decision? Is no one here afraid of the slippery slope possibilities?

Yeah, sure the law in Oregon has "strict limitations", but the PRECIDENT for "legal suicide" has been SET!

What's next? A law that lets people off themselves if they just don't feel like living anymore? What if someone IS in a coma, like Schiavo was, and are deemed to be "unnecessary", like she was? I guess this decision is a good thing for those who supported her killing. Boy, I hope no one reading this now ever finds themselves in that situation!

"Oh, 47 you're just being paranoid, that will never happen". Yeah, right.

< sigh> Forget it. I'm sure this thread will reach 1000+ posts with people focusing on "individual liberties" instead of the larger issue, which is the ENCOURAGEMENT OF DEATH.

Anytime a society permits death as a means to an end, even in the name of "liberty", it cannot, by DEFINITION survive, because it's killing its own people!

It's that simple and I'm done.

I'm curious why you put legal suicide in quotes? Are you implying that suicide is illegal? There isn't a state in the union that will put you in jail for attempting it, and obviously none that will for succeeding.

The slippery slope begins far, far before today's decision. It was when execution was decided to be a fit means of punishment. If you're consistent on believing that is wrong, then at least you're making a consistent argument. But if you want to get the boulder back in place, you've got a long, long ways to shove.

This is an extension of the legalized murder which took place in Florida. Some in here are muttering something about "states rights", like it has something to do with culture of death leftist justices are enveloped in and the same ones are also in favour of tax funded abortions. Death from the cradle to the rocking chair, sounds like Nazi eugenics to me.

This is just another example of the radical left instigating the wrath of G-d on this nation.

The three conservative justices who were apposed Scalia, Thomas & Roberts need to be commended for having a soul.
