Whether you know it or not, Whell, Washington, Oregon and Montana all have legal Physician Assisted Suicide similar to what is discussed in your cited articles. It has nothing to do with socialized medicine, just allowing people with incurable disease to die with dignity rather than wasting away in nursing homes.
You really need to get out more, read more, and get your information without a filter that adds a ridiculous right-wing twist to everything.

So...what's the issue here? If people do not want to live then why should they be forced to?

Christ, whell! You'll twist anything to serve your perverted agenda. This is about putting an end to needless and grotesque suffering on the part of hopelessly ill human beings. It has NOTHING to do with "socialized medicine" at all. You're nothing but a disgusting contemptible troll.

I love you too, Johnny.
So, you guys are just fine with having the same government that runs the healthcare system codifying into law euthanasia practices for, among others, kids, in an attempt to erradicate - as the article cites - a "cure at all costs culture in the medical establishment"? That doesn't bother any of you even a little bit?

Forget about me, whell. It'll never work.

Who else should make the laws? That's what governments are for.

The 'cure at all costs culture in the medical establishment' is certainly alive and well in the US and accounts for a significant amount of wasted medical expenditures trying to extend the lives of terminally ill patients. Terri Schiavo, anyone?
How much time have you spent inside of nursing homes full of terminally ill and Alsheimers patients? I've spent enough to know that I may well desire a quick end to it all rather than living in persistent vegetative state. YMMV.

I will never forget what I learned from watching my parents final years and the things my Dad had to say about it......
You know, I think I will go out and buy a gun. Nothing fancy, I only plan to use it once.....when I get too old to take care of myself.
Regards,
Dave
