> it rejects all that I hold sacred and true:
* that the preservation of human life is our highest moral ideal;
* that a principal purpose of government is as a protector of life;

This is deranged or juvenile. Seeking to celebrate the suffering of others to satisfy moral whims. Hard to tell which.
- jacknews 3y agoExactly, it's one thing to rail against 'suicide influencers' or whatever, but he seems bent on having others suffer through their final time, aided by whatever medical tools are available. For example, many doctors have 'do not resuscitate' orders, to prevent some extreme 'life preservation' interventions being performed on themselves, because they know first-hand how awful they are for the patient. If people are genuinely ready to go, capable of making that decision, free from coercion or influence etc, they should be allowed to, IMHO.
