These laws that give health care providers and families the ability to cause death without prosecution are contrary to thousands of years of established law.

The default position in our legal system is that causing the end of someone else's life is murder. If you want to stick with that default, so be it.

But that's not what you want. You want to have your cake and eat it, too. You want the law to say it's ok to cause someone's death but not have it become messy.

Well, that's the legal system for you. It's messy, no doubt about it. From my point of view, it sure beats killing your relatives, or any other person who has nobody to speak for them, without any oversight.
