There are many safeguards and the right has not been abused since we voted for it. We are tired of politicians telling us what we should think. Law and morality are two separate issues. Using the law to force an outcome supporting a moral viewpoint is in itself immoral and an abuse of power. As a former nurse I have seen much death and misery, pain and suffering of humans in their last days of a debilitating disease prolonged at times over months.
Some diseases have such horrible pain that no medication can ease.
Some people can endure, some cannot. It is not for congress to interfere between a doctor and patient. For that reason, I voted twice for the Oregon Statute. For me I do not believe it would be right. But I have no right to prevent another person to make that decision.
