Humane. Kind. Compassionate. Ethical.
We should treat every kind of fatal brain disorder - mental illness, humanely, kindly and with ethics. We can't leave these fellow human beings to die on our streets alone and in agony. They are finding that there is a far greater recovery rate in a "wet house" then with forced sobriety that never works. They have AA meetings there, support and care. For God's sake, give these people a chance to get well and if they can't, allow them a humane, compassionate death.
Once you've seen for yourself 3rd and 4th stage addiction ANY doubt that it is a fatal disease leaves.
An unjust zillion $$$ war in the Middle East financed by my income for a decade? No thanks. Humane care for my ill neighbors - I can't think of a better place for my tax dollars to go.
