    And under the latest ruling "mature minors" as young as 16 may request euthanasia.
    At one time a doctor friend of mine told me that 40% of medical cost were accrued in the last year of life. For this reason it is inevitible that something like this would/will come to be.
    Most cases will not be the head scratcher that this man's case was. Although he is the only meaningful judge of what is "unbearable" for him. Perhaps that he would of done the job himself if afforded the opportunity. Keeping some from killing themselves short term, until they can be stabilized is one thing. Long term is not accecptable IMO.
    I have long envisioned the day when advance directives, like health care proxy and living will , were legally allowed to designate a set of circumstances under which we not only withhold life support, but hasten the end on purpose.
    I mean it's their life not ours, why spend our healthcare dollars to keep people alive who do not wish to be?
    I realize it represents a tremendous change in medical thinking but that doesn't make that change wrong.
