Agreed. Here is the sticking point. "never trump the right of anyone to choose the time of their death" Having the free will to choose a course of life and to a large extent the actions of one's life should not be an issue of government. I can do whatever I want, if I make that choice as a private and personal commitment. This includes violating the order of the state. I can even commit murder if so inclined. The order of the state certainly has the right to apply related sanctions. At the same time does government have the right to authorize an individual to participate in the an ultimate decision that they themselves have no right to trump. More than the "prohibition," it is the "authorization" that causes me to be stuck on this issue. It is apparently the reverse for you. Each involve a very weighty concern. Yet the former is a hands off attitude where as the latter involves intent to act.
