Every bill the GOP comes up with is the same garbage. It kills the most vulnerable in the end.

In other words, suffer like Jesus in his last hours. Forgive me but...what a load of complete shit.

Meanwhile I am up at 8:00 AM calling every GOP senator like I have been (over 400 calls so far since Jan...I keep notes) to stop killing me! I almost wish they would just put a pillow over my face (like in the film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest) and get it done and over with quickly instead of prolonging this cruel torture any longer. I can NOT take it anymore!!!!!!!

Euthanasia would subvert both those goals.

(22,976 posts)Please! When I'm ancient and feeble and can't even function, wasted by some creeping fatal disease, have some mercy and take me out.
But DO NOT RUSH THINGS!

(25,853 posts)I'm toying with the idea of a story in which the cheapest (and most popular) plan is one in which if you get too sick, you're taken out to the north 40 and shot.
I have actually written a story which envisions suicide as not only legal and common, but part of a dynamic service industry.
