Another reason to admire Switzerland.
I've never understood the debate over assisted suicide. How could such a thing be legislated? If you're ready to die and your family and doctor are on board, it's nobody else's goddamned business. How obnoxious to think you should have a say in the personal decisions of strangers.
Ironically - to me, anyway - some of the shrillest squawking comes from people with conditions like ALS. They seem to think someone else's action is somehow a judgment on them. To me it's like gay marriage: If you don't like it, don't do it. But don't presume to decide for others.
Why are we so much more sensible with our pets?

A truly free society is one in which everyone has the knowledge and ability to make decisions like this; we are stuck with the self-righteous who tell us we can have a personal relationship with God but cannot carryout our own intentions because it disagrees with their own idea of how God would operate through us.
Well said.
Evidently we're the only ones who have any thoughts on the matter (except for one correspondent who wrote privately to agree).
