Ask a nurse you know well how much "euthanasia" actually goes on in hospitals today. You'd be surprised.

Medical research wouldn't be able to find cures???? I am talking people who are about to DIE, who are terminal. Trust me, they are NOT the research subjects...and research will still be supported as most people do not want to die of a certain ailment.

Look up Sue Rodriguez. She wanted to die as she had ALS and it was only getting worse. Her appeal went to the BC Supreme Court - and was denied.

She was physically unable to administer any type of suicidal agent...she finally got her wish via an anonymous physician.

Can you document the apparent "fears" of hospice and palliative care units?

Just because assisted suicide becomes legal doesn't mean everyone will choose it!

And BTW - families and friends feel enough grief and guilt about someone that dies of natural causes. It would be best if a doctor administered the injection (or whatever).

Asiel, I hope you can back up what you said...is this stuff you have "just heard/read" or stuff you can provide links or proof to?
