Title: The Right to Die Post by: mulhuzz on October 06, 2015, 12:55:00 AM http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34450058
California has enacted right to die legislation under a particular set of circumstances for the terminally ill. Too far? Not far enough? About right? Discuss.

Failing that, I'll take VS043 and do a Nic Cage :) Title: Re: The Right to Die Post by: mulhuzz on October 06, 2015, 01:15:08 AM Tough one and a huge grey area, think we are too restrictive though subject to sensible checks..... Broadly agree.The problem as I see it is that it's *really* hard to agree on what sensible checks might be. In this regard I don't think California goes far enough (patients have to be able to self administer) because if appears to create two classes of terminally ill. Those that can take a pill, inject, push a button, whatever and those that can't. That somehow doesn't seem fair, but I've no idea what you'd replace it with.

I think it's horrendous that we have our pets put down when they get old and ill but refuse to allow people to die with dignity Title: Re: The Right to Die Post by: horseplayer on October 06, 2015, 10:29:48 AM Not far enough imo.
