I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food or health treatment?

In Switzerland, (public) health services are not businesses. And I don't think anyone in our system makes money from encouraging people's deaths. We also have assisted suicide services. They're a public association that brings penthobarbital to your place and assists you during your suicide.

I'm also opposed to assisted suicide. At the moment "death panels" are largely imaginary. If this law passes it will introduce actual death panels which dispense actual death as a "treatment". I don't really understand your question, probably because I'm not coming from where you think I'm coming from.

In the US our "death panels" aren't imaginary. They're administered by insurance companies.
