  • I get what you are saying here. What is dignity, can it be quantified and codified in law? We are talking extreme cases here, and the process is vast and comprehensive. We needn’t be afraid of our mortality, and if someone “chooses” to go, or if it’s time for our loved ones to pass on because continuing is no longer worth it? How does that impact us?

    Yes, it could lead to more acceptance for assisted dying, but only in cases where it is merited, and why is that a bad thing. I feel your opinion comes from a place like America, where a panel of insurance adjusters makes your medical decisions for you. In the actual free world where we have healthcare the mandates for treatment come from the physicians and the advice from medical professionals. It is far from perfect, but it is the best recommended care.

    And to most of us, animals are not lesser creatures and the bonds can be just as strong. We hold onto these people for ourselves, not for them. And heck, if they are adamant about continuing the fight, maid won’t be an option for them. I wouldn’t put my cat or dog down until the fight was out of them or the pain and discomfort was too great.
