There's a lot of safeguards in place. It worked fine in Oregon, and there's virtually no chance for someone who isn't ready to die being able to choose this option because of the procedures and safeguards in place to request the lethal prescription.

And it's a scary thing when dead is an asset to the government.
Especially in the medical field.

How is it an asset to the government? All this does is let terminally ill patients request lethal prescriptions. The government doesn't decide when people get to die... and that's what this bill is for. If we have a right to life we should have a right to death.

Not a huge fan of supporting death though.

Would you rather people suffer with painful terminal cancers that have no chance to be cured while pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into keeping them miserably alive for an extra 2 weeks?

Well if the patient is incapacitated, (I.E. coma) who makes the decision then?

They can't choose death if they aren't conscious enough to choose it. That's one of the safeguards, and one of the reasons why you're supposed to write what you want to do if you are ever in a vegetative state into your will.

The patient must be an adult (18 or over) resident of the state of Washington
The patient must be mentally competent, verified by two physicians (or referred to a mental health evaluation)
The patient must be terminally ill with less than 6 months to live, verified by two physicians.
The patient must make voluntary requests, without coercion, verified by two physicians
The patient must be informed of all other options including palliative and hospice care
There is a 15 day waiting period between the first oral request and a written request
There is a 48 hour waiting period between the written request and the writing of the prescription
The written request must be signed by two independent witnesses, at least one of whom is not related to the patient or employed by the health care facility
The patient is encouraged to discuss with family (not required because of confidentiality laws)
The patient may change their mind at any time and rescind the request

Yeah. I guess your right.
But I still feel that over time, that the law will most likely take abuse.

Because they can't prescribe illegal medications (just lethal doses of legal medications), there is no potential of abuse because doctor's can't prevent you from overdosing on something you were prescribed in the first place if they aren't constantly watching you.

I just want to know now how the Governer's race for Washington is going.
Let's hope there is more alive people this time.
And not 5 recounts.

I think gregoire's up 52%-48%

Its one thing to provide fast trains... its another for people to actually use them. People in LA are morons. they choose to drive despite the mass transit options available to them. I aint got no love for the west coast.

Personally I'm unhappy about the election... at least Obama won.

So.. Obama definitely won?

Ah. System. Been a while since I heard that song...

While the electoral college votes aren't for another month, and while we only have the exit polls to go on, unless all the voters have been lying on thier voting forms and a good half of the electors turn faithless (and earning whatever punishment thier state hands out to such a disgraceful practice), then yeah. Obama's won. McCain's gracefully conceded regardless, so all that really remains is for him to start moving his stuff in in January and take the Oath of Office.

That's how I thought it was.. awesome :) I'm watching McCains "I LOST =[" video now, seems pretty much a standard losers video, at least he congratulated Obama, but, he had to or else everyone would call him a sore loser.

"Obama wins" on Digg, 26k diggs (and going up).

McCain should really have wound down the negative campaigning once it became clear he was going to lose last week. Then he'd have a dignified aftermath, rather than just a load of scared and angry borderline racists. Fair enough speech, though.

Any bookies taking bets of how long it takes for Obama to get assassinated by some deep south racist?
$500 on july.

Why did I misread that as boobies?

I saw mccain's concession speech, I thought it was pretty bad. The audience kept booing Obama, because mccain's camp has constantly been trying to stir up hatred and fear, and this is what they get back... I heard some right wing blog commentator say they need to take the defeat dignified unlike the dems in 2000, when the election was stolen from gore. I don't see how they can be dignified in defeat now though after such an ugly campaign. If anything happens to Obama, John McCain is at least partly responsible.

ok I'm done, let's move on from the election, it's over thank god...

Also I'm level rusty crowbar now woot

Hey guys! I finally won this fucking election. And for a change, I'm not a translucent looking person, like the past forty-three. I've always wanted to be black, as much as I've wanted to not be George W. Bitc...Bush. So now that I can't be called Bush, what are you going to call me?

>_> Luis is the coolest dude on NG, just because he's a stupid mexican doesn't make him any more cuntish than you. This is the Flash forum, why would you be posting political things? Because Luis made this thread. If you want to go around joking about Obama being assassinated when he has only just being elected president (not even into office), go to the Politics forum or general forum.. the general forum is probably more accommodating to that comment.

This just in: Water is more valuable than diamonds + oil. Who'dathunkit?

The whole page was full of political banter. I made a little joke/poke and i totally got stomped on. It was unnecessary so i had a go at him.

The 44th President
All the people in my politics class had stayed up all night I laughed(I live in the UK). Its cool to have a democrat in charge, but it probably wont amount to much change, in terms of America's world wide policy. It seems mad how we all put up with such similar party's these days.

Bmtron?
Have any of you played bm tron? Its fun, especially multilayer (on one computer). It would be cool if someone did an AS war based on something like this. It would of course be difficult to make computers players without random functions but the strategy could be interesting. The source code is available I think.
