The way this is worded one might think you supported socialized healthcare, are outraged that someone isn't having their treatment payed for by the state and it's just state funded patient chosen suicide you object to. I was always under the impression that the ideology of this site is that government paying for treatment (socialized healthcare) is considered a bad thing. I even remember a column by Tony Perkins praying that it never comes about. I have to say I’m a little confused here.

There are plenty of other books to refer to; "The Peaceful Pill Handbook" comes to mind, and that can be purchased at Amazon. As for myself, if I was determined to die, I would want to die with some amount of peace, dignity, and freedom from pain ... rather than blowing my brains out all over the wall or jumping off a building and splattering all over the sidewalk!
