Accepting Euthanasia is a Slippery slope. Dr Kovorkian started with those who were terminally ill and moved on to those who were only depressed. The desire for death doesn’t always mean they want help dying. They may feel death would be a release but not want to do it. Safeguards are ineffective and often ignored. Accepting voluntary requests often leads to involuntary acts since outside pressure often prevails. It is often difficult to determine if someone is a vegetable? People who were thought to be a vegetable in a permanent coma have woke up and said they heard everything but couldn’t respond. Some woke up years later and returned to leading a normal life. Some who they thought were untreatable were able to find treatment. Government-run health insurance programs pose a serious problem since decisions are based on cost-effectiveness without regard for the individual. A couple in England whose child was diagnosed with a critical disease. The government-run health board ruled he was not worth treating and ordered the hospital to remove his life support. The couple appealed to social media and hospitals in America and Australia offered to take the child, but the government refused to release the child and removed his life support. He died shortly after.
