Euthanasia for non-terminal illnesses

[abaris]

I generally agree that people should have control over their own bodies.

Yeah, they should. But there's a very fine line to walk. We have that unspeakable past where Hitler used the concept of Euthanasia to get rid of mentally ill persons as well as what was called asocial elements.

The checks and balances for Euthanasia have to be tremendous so that no politician or lobbyist can lay their dirty hands on it. I guess for some health insurers it could be a wet dream come true if allowed ot run unchecked.
