#1 How long before these demons vote to "incentivize" suicide?

#2 To me, allowing a person to buy drugs that will kill them is not the same thing as "assisted" death. I mean, suicide with legally purchased ingredients is hardly difficult if you are determined already. Anybody with a handgun or smaller long gun could do it, or a person with certain cleaning materials that could be combined, or numerous other things. This merely makes it easier. And having watched grandparents rot to death in old folks homes, not knowing who they are or how they got there for a number of years, I am unconvinced that a person is really alive once they have to be reminded who their children are and who their former spouse is in pictures.

I do understand the concerns. European countries are using this method to kill old people, there is no doubt about that. But if the elderly and terminally ill don't want to play it out, I don't blame them, and I don't think anybody else should be able to prevent them.

#3 don't want to play it out There's the rub. At some point none can reliably determine what the person "wants" or "doesn't want", it is all a matter of conjecture and psychological projection.

#4 One night in the ER I did have a patient ask me for a scrip for "10 pounds of Mo-Feen"
