Mental Health Update

I happen to disagree with this blogger's points, but they are well argued. The question in my mind is whether euthanasia decisions should be in the hands of people or society.

As soon as a society backs off from the absolute value of all human life, a process of devaluation begins in which ever more life is thought unworthy of life. One need not speculate about the “slippery slope.” We have already begun the descent. The trend started in our courts with terminating the ventilator of a person supposedly in a persistent vegetative state, and has proceeded to the starvation of those judged incompetent. And once the right to death by starvation was granted a competent person, it was next seen appropriate to grant this “benefit” to the incompetent.
