Margaret Somerville asks all of my questions

I share all her questions about why Quebec just legalized euthanasia.

But I am still musing about her final statement, which is this:

I predict history will see each society’s decision about euthanasia as its turning-point values decision of the 21st century.

Indeed, it’s a turning point. But there have been many. And is not legalizing killing of elderly and infirm on their choice a logical outcome of a society that has had legalized killing of babies for decades?

Question might be why this didn’t come sooner.
