VETO

You know an euthanasia bill is overly generous when I, a firm believer in euthanasia and assisted suicide, is actively vetoing it!

First of all, how can a patient with psychological issue be able to give consent in the first place! Also why are we authorizing assisted suicide for curable diseases? The bill as written is waay too broad, it would essencially allow someone with mild depression to just go get euthanized. Which is just plain wrong in my view
