I consider the Michael J Fox article to be satirical. No one will kill off celebrities who will get special treatment. Death by neglect WILL happen to ordinary folks though and not as a result of their choice. Heck, Obama has advisors who are open about saying thats desirable.

However, to take that and turn it into a straw man that has us killing off celebrities or ordinary people with serious and expensive illnesses is either extremely dishonest or downright insane depending upon the sincerity of the proponents. Shame on you.

Wasn't it sarcasm or satire? I read it but sure didn't take it literally.
