Posted by GetCocky11 People need to read up on the Oregon law and just see how heavily regulated it is. People just can't ask for the suicide medicine. It is a really tough process that above all requires a terminal illness.

It's not what the law says that's a problem, it's that the law exists in the first place. Like I said above, giving the state any say so in people dying for any reason other than being convicted of a capital offense is a terrible idea. This is a power we never should give the state. I'm sure the Oregon law is very logical and well laid out. But it sets a precedent that puts the state into a position to be involved in decisions it should never be involved in.
