That's why I'm glad that in any jurisdiction I've seen it available, it always comes down to the patient's choice. > I want you to think of the million ways things go wrong Nothing is perfect but if someone is suffering months or potentially years of pain I'm glad that they have the option to choose to end it legally. > The fact that someone could look at the healthcare system and say "give them the option to kill people" is wild. Nobody says that, maybe that's why it seems so wild. It's the patient that has the option, not the system. "Give patients the choice of end of life treatment that they prefer" is more like it. > due dilegence to have direct power over life and death How do you feel about police carrying firearms with authority to kill base on high pressure, low time, individual decision making? |
