Dignified Death, Not State Sanctioned

The idea of assisted dying is a complex one, but it's clear that the state has no business being involved in it. As someone who believes in personal responsibility and individual freedom, I think it's crucial that we allow people to make their own decisions about their end of life care, without the need for bureaucratic oversight.

The current proposals for assisted dying are far too intrusive, with multiple doctors and judges needing to sign off on a person's decision to end their life. This is not compassion, it's paternalism. We should trust individuals to make their own decisions, as long as they're not harming anyone else.

A more sensible approach would be to provide support and resources for people who are considering assisted dying, but to do so in a way that respects their autonomy. This could involve providing access to counseling and palliative care, but ultimately the decision should be left up to the individual.
