Discussion Right to Die (VICE on HBO: Season 4, Episode 3)

[Your Own Ghost]

"When California enacted the End of Life Option Act amid fierce debate, the number of terminally ill Americans with the right to a doctor-assisted death effectively quadrupled. But in parts of Europe, euthanasia is administered far beyond the terminally ill, including those with autism, depression, and personality disorders. VICE's Vikram Gandhi talks with people on both sides of the heated debate surrounding the right to die."

I'm glad this issue is getting more attention, but I'm no more inclined to consider seriously anyone else's opinion about why I shouldn't be free to commit suicide than I am to consider someone else's opinion about who I should marry. End of life autonomy is an important social discussion, but I'm now too exhausted to have it.
