My bolding.
I hope it's not.
Providing a humane and sure method, yes, but the agency and decision to die must always lie with the subject.
It would be horrific if the 'us' referred to became the feared and stereotyped death panel of partisan rhetoric. Through apathy of the masses, intentional ignorance brought about by special interests or positive action by corrupt officials, 'we' could create unthinkable injustice. Think Soviet psychiatry.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
