And yet, I live under a government, one that like the US government has been democratically elected, which does allow assisted suicide.
So maybe "government" isn't the problem. The people are.
But of course it is way scarier to imagine that it's not the government that is making your father suffer, but your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers.
Because that would really be too uncomfortable.
- burntsushi 13y agoI'm not sure what inconsistency you're trying to point out. Not all governments are equal. Perhaps it wasn't clear from my comment; the US government is to blame. Moreover, government is not the only perpetrator of evil things. It's certainly by far the biggest (read: wars), but there are plenty of other evil people and organizations out there. Is that supposed to make me uncomfortable? I'm just calling it like I see it.
