Thoughts on euthanasia

[robvalue]

Well, even if they do get into power, they can't just rewrite stuff to be whatever they want. I wouldn't expect them to receive enough backing to do something as ridiculous as that.

Any legislation about anything could be fucked up if you have maniacs in charge with no leash.

I agree that if it is to be done at all, it needs to be incredibly carefully worded and implemented. Quite possibly it could/should be limited to definite terminal cases, and all reasonable steps taken to combat coercion. Sure, it wouldn't be perfect, no system is. But I don't think that concern justifies making every terminal patient suffer for months instead when they genuinely want to die, personally.
