Eh, I used to be all in favor of Right To Death laws, but when Canada passed theirs they started pushing the disabled and impoverished onto it, not just the terminally ill. Which is basically ethnic cleansing.
So while I understand the Slippery Slope argument is not a good one, I'm going to need to see some common sense restrictions before I could support this as fervently as I did before
What the hell are you talking about?

This is the only thing I can think they might be talking about?
That is what I'm talking about, they also made a commercial advocating suicide that was quietly pulled from YouTube when it pissed everyone off.
Both cases were people with MCR. You are simplifying things. The article makes things more clear.
Both? There were more than two cases, and for one of them they were just hard of hearing, hardly a reason to die.
It's a common problem in Canada, people being forced onto the death list because they're poor and the hospitals wanna "Free up some beds"
