[Vision2020] "unpleasant death as a result of disease or illness".

[Tom Hansen]

Exactly, Roger -

I can give a tinker's damn on which side of the political aisle you hang 
your hat.  When it comes to decisions concerning prolonging a painful and 
diseased life, that decision should be made after careful consideration by 
the affected parties, NOT the government.

If my wife were suffering to the point where life only served to prolong 
pain, I would honor her expressed wishes.  And if the government were to 
initervene and say, "No, Mr. Hansen.  Her continued agony will be 
maintained because we think it's right," well, then . . . they might as 
well bury me with her, because if it is the very last thing I do on this 
mortal coil, it will be to honor her wishes.
