The most determined people do not always choose wisely, no matter how well they are counselled. But it would be wrong to deny everyone the right to assisted death for this reason alone. Competent adults are allowed to make other momentous, irrevocable choices: to undergo a sex change or to have an abortion. People deserve the same control over their own death. Instead of dying in intensive care under bright lights and among strangers, people should be able to end their lives when they are ready, surrounded by those they love.

譯文:最有決心的人并不總是明智地做選擇,無論他們獲得的建議有多好。 但是僅僅因為這個原因就剝奪每個人安樂死的權(quán)利是錯誤的。 有能力的成年人可以做出其他重大的溯警、不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的選擇: 做變性手術(shù)或墮胎。人們應(yīng)該對自己的死亡擁有同樣的控制權(quán)狡相。人們應(yīng)該能夠在準(zhǔn)備好的時候梯轻,在愛的人身邊走向生命的盡頭,而不是在重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室晃眼的燈光下尽棕、陌生人的包圍中離世喳挑。
