It far above my pay grade to comment on this poor woman’ decision. Everyone sees things differently. I see this a failure of our society.
If you read the high points of the law, two docs have to guess that you have only six months to live. That seems presumptuous. From my personal dealings with the medical profession, they ain’t sure of what they are doing. That’s the “art” part of the expression “an art; not a science”.
We’ll never know how it might have worked out for this woman. All we can do is pray for her soul, the doc’s who make such a risky decision, and ours.
Ours cause we are on that slippery slope.
What’s next the depressed, those drawing from a bankrupt social security system, the “expensive patients”, babies with defects, or as in China girls.
Mess with His Plan at our own peril.
