Wry does not face the real possibility that "others" may someday terminate her life for other reasons than capital punishment for crimes.
Should euthanasia be used by the state to terminate people so that they are not competing for resources?
Wry is a he, and does understand that concern. Slippery slope arguments do not make for a reasoned debate, however.
I framed the issue by suggesting an individual might - if mercy killing were legal - express their wishes in an end of life document, a will or revocable trust. Some may wish to let 'God" decide, others, myself included, would rather allow others to make that decision.
My wife and I have included a DNR in our revocable trust as we agree our sons should not be faced with making a life or death decision. We would include euthanasia too if legal, under for specific conditions, such as Oregon's Death with Dignity Act. See:
