Re: Euthanasia = Good Death for All!

Sadly, those who unsuccessfully commit suicide are not murderers, only
attempted murderers... Thus, no death penalty.
Given that the single largest problem in the world today is
overpopulation, you would think those in power would see the sense in
allowing the ones who want out to get out.

But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death,
there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without
pity." - Lazarus Long (Time Enough For Love, © 1973 Robert A. Heinlein)
