ASSISTED SUICIDE AS A MATTER OF COURSE
An odd and unsettling thing happened yesterday. I was talking to a fellow who said (in the most matter of fact way) that after Christmas he's going to be attending a friend's assisted suicide. His friend has early ALS. Curious how quickly that which used to be unthinkable has become a matter of course. (It's only been 6 months since Canada legalized assisted suicide.)
Government health care costs are skyrocketing in Canada; I have had MS for over 32 years; I'm expensive to keep around. How long will it be before the current right to die will become a future duty to die? -- Mark
