The biggest problem I see with your argument is that it gets absorbed as a subset of the right to choose under any circumstance argument....So then (in a few years) we start to see the population control people rising up with their comments about who should be "kept alive" and who shouldn't.

You don't get it. What I'm talking about is choice for oneself. It's the exact opposite of government programs either to kill you or to keep you alive. There's no slippery slope. It's the simple freedom to decide that one has had enough and have society respect one's wishes. This isn't about Nazi ethics. Not at all. Not even close.

In the old days, when people reached a certain point in life, they just wandered out into the desert and never came back. Seems to me they had the right idea. The problem nowadays is that, when you reach that point, you're usually hooked up to several machines in a hospital nowhere near a desert. What I'd like is for people to have the option of desert delivery service.
