If Democrats can turn Paul Wellstone's funeral into a DNC political rally, then EVERYTHING is a "cause". It needs placards with fancy slogans and everything.
I agree that "die with dignity" is insulting.
Let me start this off with this, I support these laws. I'm 100% ok with someone having this option. And I do have problem with anyone being made a "poster child" for this issue.
Frankly and in my opinion, don't necessarily think this is an issue that should be an "activist" issue. You can see this getting bastardized already with catch phrase being used..."die with dignity." WTF does that even mean? So someone who does not utilize this route is "undignified" or has lost their dignity? Whether its their faith, wanting to hold every second they have left to be with their family, etc?
Call it what it is and leave it at that. Its medically assisted suicide. If you have to rebrand it to sell it, you haven't worked hard enough to convince people on it's merits.
