Reply to comment by notablyunfamous in Connecticut lawmakers considering legislation to give terminally ill patients medical aid in dying by 76before84

It makes sense to encourage otherwise healthy people to take their treatment. Then when CPR wouldn't really make sense to ever do, to encourage to change to DNR. Then when physical and mental extreme suffering is inevitable, to encourage physician-assisted suicide.

Connecticut voters will happily hop and skip to their legislators to show their support for this law, forgetting, as always, a seemingly enlightened idea is never implemented consistently and will only be as humane and enlightened as the people involved in caring for someone terminally ill. Reality should always be considered when we do this stuff.

I trust medical science. Medicine's likely the most researched topic on the planet, and there are lawsuits for malpractice all the time.
