Right to life - or right to die?
I think both of these statements are complete BS of course. Humans work up from telling little fibs - like the tooth fairy, and father christmas, so we can keep a straight face while some one talks about "rights" such as these. You have a right to do what you can achieve yourself. Otherwise you have a right to negotiate with your fellows. When we screw around with this things there is always trouble. That's why this story is so interesting.
A market in 'right to die' - that is assisted suicide? Anyone interested in risk - and life - should be interested in that. Leaving aside the traditional role played by pharmacies, liquor stores, and car dealers in helping people with their plans to leave the temporal plane. Should a market in right to die knowledge exist? I can't think of a regulatory structure that would make this safe. As a dedicated free-marketer I may have found the limits of what I could tolerate. You want to die? That's your business. It's not mine and I don't want anyone else profiting from it either. We do have other death-dealing businesses - take weapons manufacture - but to move one of them in the 'retail space'. Nope, I can't make it work.
