Assisted suicide (i.e. the right to die) is a FAILURE of the medical establishment. It is not progress. It is not success. Sates like Oregon and countries like Sweden and the Netherlands have failed the most vulnerable among us.

Neo: Read “Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande. It is an amazing and important book.

So the question really is, how to voters get their power back?

Far as I know, the only certain way to get power back that has been transfered is to get a blade and hack off a bureaucrat’s head, so that they bleed out the power ala Highlander.

And that’s partially a joke.

If you don’t kill evil when you see em, eventually evil is going to wipe you out. It just tends to work like that, and no amount of debate or argument tends to change things in any significant fashion for humanity. So why do humans continue to think they can make compromises?

The “right-to-die” is simply a way station on the road to the “obligation-to-die”.

The movement will be pushed forward with sad stories. You will be an evil person if you are unmoved by the sad stories.

Sad stories from another POV, or heaven forbid, statistics about how many people who want to die later decide they are glad they didn’t, will be relegated to back pantries and closets.

Palliative care is quite good these days. The need for any Right To Die diminishes, but the drumbeat intensifies.

A Demoncrat will always make sure the crats are there. And when there is a will, there’s a way.

Where there is a Democrat, there is a way. As there was a homosexual judge, there will be a euthanasia judge to override the democratic will.

That said, there is an inalienable right-to-die. What there is not, today, is an industry comparable to Planned Parenthood et al that will perform the service.

Why doesn’t the abortion industry provide capital punishment and euthanasia services? It’s seems like a ripe opportunity to reduce overhead and duplication.

There’s legal. There’s common sense. I wouldn’t have wished my father another hour and I could wish I could wish away his last week.
Then, as these things inevitably do, we move to duty to die.
And if somebody isn’t fulfilling his duty, there’s a ‘crat to make sure.
