"I will say this - I do not believe that the State should have anything to do with this emotionally charged, delicate situation, whatsoever - when it comes to families considering assisted suicide for their loved one who might be in constant pain with a terminal diagnosis."

I agree 100%. The Government should not have anything to do with the beliefs or decisions within families.

Governments clearly exposed their hate for and disdain for citizens during Covid19 when the legalised murder by injection.

We extend the benevolence of an easy, painless death to our pets whenever we judge the quality of their lives to be unbearable or the burden of life to be too great. I've had to make that call for over a dozen animals over the years, and it's agonizing even when it's without question the best thing left to do for them. I don't understand why we don't extend that benevolence to people. Humans have the power to make that same judgement about their *own* lives. The decision to end one's life is the most intimately personal decision anyone can make and no one has the right to make that call for anyone else. Not a bureaucrat, a politician, a neighbor, or a spouse. "Life no matter what agony it inflicts" is morally and criminally wrong whether the life in question is a human's or an animal's.

Anyone who's appalled by the idea of people offing themselves so they won't "burden society" should re-examine his or her commitment to the morality of altruism, because that's where that bullshit comes from. When people aren't viewed as the means to each other's ends there can be no question of bureaucrats considering the bottom line of entitlement programs, because there would be no entitlements. There would be no bureaucrats with the gall to suggest euthanasia to Paralympians. People like Gauthier wouldn't be considered disposable. But as long as the overriding morality of a culture says that the value of someone's life is defined by how well he "sacrifices to others," then no one should be surprised when that sacrifice includes killing himself for them. In such a culture, death is the point of the whole exercise. The "useless eaters" globalists are just being explicit about taking altruism to its logical conclusion of all cannibalizing all.
