I agree entirely.

Who's benefitting from assisted suicide being illegal?

As always, the lawyers.

The "Victim" is being lost in the whole thing.

People are screaming that this is inhumane, but it's easy to scream that when one of the other options is illegal and the only OTHER option is YOURS.

IF, and I say IF, her husband is being honest, then I think he'd have preferred the Kevorkian treatment as well. As I'm sure would Terry Schiavo. But, unfortunately that's not an option.

The only options are being "Inhumane", or forcing her to live.
