I know that I'm repeating myself, and that I blogged about this the other day, but I'm still very concerned about the stuff about assisted suicide. It isn't that I'm against suicide per se - I believe anyone should be able to make such a decision - but what worries me is where legalising such acts might lead. It kind of sends out the message that the lives of people with disabilities are somehow worthless, and that we're all itching to top ourselves. I also worry that it opens the door to some very dark possibilities - what if people start assuming you want to die? What if you can't communicate your wishes properly? I may be being paranoid, but we may be starting down a slippery slope to some very dark things.
