Dying with Dignity
Just sitting on the couch this lovely evening, watching tv, and the news started talking about the choice to die. Got me wandering if this is a controversy in the states as it is here, as I hadn't heard anything about it previously. The idea is euthanization on demand from a doctor if or when you want to end your life. I haven't done any extra research, but it sounds like it is only available for elderly people. Please do share your thoughts/ideas on this. I'm a bit bewildered by the idea myself.

Have you never heard of Dr. Kevorkian? In general he said he only assisted terminal patients, but he was an advocate for everyone's "right-to-die". This is nothing new and was a huge deal in the US back in the 90's when he was on trial.
