Have you seen some of the videos coming out of Canada, where "doctors" who are more or less agents of the state have presented that not as an option, but the best option.

For example there was one person that was trying to get In-Home nursing, which my understanding was an option but the "doctor" kept pushing suicide as the better choice, this person clearly did not want to die, but it was being pushed as the first option for them.

The perverse incentives of state run healthcare combined with a suicide option opens up all manner of abuse, and unintended results.
