text: All true.   That's today.   The culture of "assisted dying' seems poised to spread and that culture seems poised to support greater profit from the apparatus of death.   That culture will push for expansion of existing law.  This is one basis of the "slippery slope" and this is my objection.  
  
  I also object to the lack of sincerity around issues as serious as treating pain.   There are ways to reduce pain for a lot of people and avoid it completely that are not on the medical guidelines map in Canada, but are in other countries.  This isn't voodoo;  there are metabolic processes that have been outlined in biochemistry textbooks for decades.   Perhaps if all the knowledge in those textbooks were truly utilized, people had less pain, the need for assisted death would decrease.
