Might as well support the church pushing exorcisms and prayer for the ill.

But that's an irrelevant non-point though.

No. It's not better that some shyster quack profiteers off desperation. That's worse. As a society it's normal to protect the most vulnerable. It's abnormal to pass laws designed to drain the bank accounts of the afflicted and their family. Our healthcare structure is greedy enough already.

Another point is that this unproven and ineffective treatment might very well be invasive and make death even more unpleasant.

Death is unavoidable. Death with dignity is possible.

Ya, this is a great analogy.

What society do you live in?

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

How so? He was trying to equate the vote on the Iraq war with the vote on experimental drugs in a way to try and deflate the unanimous nature of the vote. He screwed the pooch using the phrase "close to unanimous".

77 to 23 is quite far removed from "close to unanimous".

See, even Frowny ****s up sometimes.
