I think this is an issue worth discussing especially in the US where the far right is trying to scare people away from even a watered-down health care system by talk of "death panels." If you think the information I found is disinformation you cd add to the discussion by correcting the disinformation but this appears to be beneath you. Too bad. Here in the USSA, where only recently has physician-assisted suicide been introduced, by prescription, it has apparently not been terribly popular. My reaction to Martin's claim was skepticism though off-list. The link I found portrayed this situation in Holland in a way I thought uncharacteristic, so if there is a critique of the use of this report, it wd be helpful if you gave it. Clearly your response of covering the issue in saliva on behalf of Agambem is very little helpful.

Let me put my main concern with the discussion in a nutshell. Some people seem to think that a 'life unworthy of life' is an obvious, given thing, easily determinable. Personally I think it's a deeply dangerous biopolitical construct. Am I to take it you disagree with that and think that there are indeed lives that are unworthy?
