Doctor assisted suicide should be legal, but never government funded. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for a practice they disagree with.

I strongly support the right to doctor-assisted suicide, but I know many Americans do not, and they should not be forced to pay for what they feel is morally wrong.

This is part of what makes me a Libertarian instead of a Liberal. They sounds alike, but there is a big difference between the two political ideologies.

But that would go against our HealthCare system, we all pay our taxes to have this implemented so any heath needs could be sought out for free. Not really an issue here, its more of a given.

But I agree that it would not work for you guys in the US.

Three states in the US allow doctor-assisted suicides. Oregon was the first, and I am fairly certain the other two states are out west as well. I can think of several circumstances where I would take advantage of the services.

P.S. I am strongly opposed to Obamacare as well. I started graduate school at USF in Tampa, FL last fall. My insurance plan through the school costs me $3,707 a year. The previous school year, prior to the implementation of Obamacare, the same plan would have only cost $2,012.

Anytime the government gets involved in a sector of society, prices there increase. This is why both tuition and medical costs greatly exceed the official inflation rate in the US every year. I had to get student loans, because the costs associated with attending graduate school are enormous. I hope to get a scholarship next year, which I would not need to pay back.

So proud to live in the greatest country in the world!

Next up, the legalization of pot

Wow Canada is kind of the best country ever, aren't we?

I wrote it for a Canadian Law class

...So lets put them through more pain than they're already in? No. Physician assisted suicide is good for things like terminal brain cancer that will put someone through a world of pain on a daily basis until they die. It's their life and their decision, don't try to take their choice away from them.

it is already happening behind the curtains tho

Canada, always taking huge strides ahead of us.

Don't forget about the indefinite detention provisions in the NDAA.

I agree there are many elements of the Canadian political system that are superior to the US. The provinces enjoy increased sovereignty from Ottawa compared to what the states are allowed by DC. Also, there are multiple viable political parties to choose from. Here in the US, the two establishment parties are so corrupted they break laws and violate our Constitution, all the while getting passes from judges they appointed who have an interest in protecting the status quo and smaller parties out. Until the 50% of apathetic American voters who think they can't make a difference band together and vote their conscience instead of staying home or sticking with the lesser of two evils, things won't change.

Fortunately, there are indications the smaller parties are making progress. The Libertarian Party received the most votes for any third party in 2014 than any other in 90 years. Also, anytime the mainstream media starts publicly attacking a movement and or party, it is a sign of fear.
