You know what? Let's say, for the sake of argument only, that you've convinced me. Sure thing, providing palliation for dehydration is still "physician assisted suicide," no different than administering a lethal dose of medication yourself.
Okay. The point still stands, you have now convinced me that all palliative care is wrong and should never be provided. You can still kill yourself just fine by refusing fluids. I guess the threshold for your resolve will have to be higher, but no one need kill you by bringing you any medication that helps alleviate any symptom whatsoever.
Your lack of compassion and mercy is no surprise.
This is why people like you are not in charge and never will be. Just because *you* make this declaration has no bearing on reality and law. Law is moving more and more towards respecting people's rights to *assisted* suicide. Your 'version' of people choosing to terminate their own lives is obscene and people requesting assistance will always be supported by the compassion of others...legal or otherwise.
