Freedom Versus Government Control

From the Economist: Britain is moving toward assisted dying.

So what about here?

No one should thwart the wishes of those who believe God’s plan cannot be meddled with.  If they don’t want pain killers, they shouldn’t be forced to take them.  If they don’t want chemotherapy or surgery, they shouldn’t be forced to endure them.  If they do want these things, they should get the best treatment possible.  All this — it seems to me — should be up to them.  

But by the same token — with appropriate safeguards — shouldn’t Americans be free to choose death with dignity according to more or less whatever exit plan they choose?

Even if they choose to go sooner than you or I might?

It’s about freedom as opposed to government control.

After all — Whose Life Is It, Anyway?

“Discuss.”

UPDATES II

Yesterday, I said I was still holding — with money I can truly afford to lose — CNF, HYMC, SQNS, BOREF, OPRT, ANIX and RNGE.

Some of you asked, what about PRKR and VNRX?  I’m still holding those, too!
