Euthanasia itself has been and remains a taboo subject for many people. To have that forbidden subject raised in the same breath with money, family planning, and fiscal policy may be a bit more than most people can take. None-the-less, death comes to us all and to try and ignore it in the hopes that it will just go away is senseless. Better to face the reality of life and plan for it's ultimate end.

A discussion of Euthanasia, self deliverance, and end of life choices is a more rational approach than to live a life full of fear of dying. With knowledge comes power. While we can not defeat death we can defeat the fear of death and dying with informed discussion and rational planning for the inevitable day that we will all face.

It offers an approach that could be implemented now, without the concern of physician assistance or religious interference. But, it does require political will and that is something that seems to be sorely lacking in the world today.
