I tend to agree with Ustwo...this coddled society of whiners that insists not only on a right to die but further a right to have someone else do the killing.
That is patently rediculous, especially in light of the hippocratic oath all MDs swear to. That being to above all else DO NO HARM.
I fully support someone's right to kill themselves, but balk at the right to die. Those are two different proposals.
This issue is a little different, and if weren't for the federal governments (through the FDA) control of drugs and how they can be administered this wouldn't be a problem. As the laws exist now, the feds are fully capable of holding ANY MDs ass to the fire for administering drugs with intent to terminate life.
We need to overturn these laws if the pro-assisted suicide camp is going to get anywhere logically. Unless of course the courts devine a right which doesn't exist, as so often happens.
imho,
