This entire subthread baffles me. (And for once, I don't just mean "how
the **** did we end up *here*?")
Of course, you're entirely right. Why would a team of medical experts
who've studied the addictive effects of drugs and the damage they do to
the human body know more about it than some random guy on the street?
Everyone agrees - wait, let me change that - almost everyone agrees we
shouldn't let people commit suicide. It is therefore completely logical
that we should allow people to slowly poison themselves to death, while
at the same time causing untold misery around them.
Hold on - no, actually that entire paragraph makes *no* sense at all! :-P
