I hadn't given it much thought until Brittney Maynard died. After that, for me it was a big fat "duh". We're inhumane for not allowing it in most jurisdictions. We're inhumane for not allowing it for the disabled who are sick and tired of rolling around in their wheelchairs with no hope of job or anything else of meaning. We're somehow still OK with allowing people to live completely incapacitated by physical or emotional distress.
What's worse is that the disabled community is fighting tooth and nail to not allow euthanasia because they think the rest of society is out to kill them because they are different.
And people hold this country of ours in such esteem (well, maybe it's just us that do that. Dunno).
