try this issue idea

there are a bunch of old people campaigning for the right to die.

4 options

1 dont let them have any rights at all. sue a religous arguement life is a gift from god blablabbla

2 give them easy access to quick death. use the its my body, and i can destroy it if i want.

3 kill all people over 65 years old in order to reduce the cost of medicare.

4put a spending cap on medical costs for each person when they run out, theyve got to front the cash for their own care.

#28: Cancer Sufferer Demands Euthanasia Bill

The Issue
Dorothy Terwilliger lies immobilized in a hospital bed, unable to move. She has end-stage cancer, and wishes to end her struggle against death. However, laws prevent her doctors from obeying her wishes.

The Debate
1. Dorothy and her family are campaigning for a "Dying with Dignity" bill, to change this situation. She implores the government to legalize euthanasia.

2. "I understand this is a very difficult time for these people," says freelance medical writer @@RANDOMNAME@@. "But the solution is not to let our medical system slide down the slippery slope of killing people in pain. We must cure, not kill. This is not the right time for euthanasia."

3. "I agree, but go further: there is never a right time for euthanasia," says Bishop @@RANDOMNAME@@. "The lives we lead are given to us by the grace of God, and he decides when they end. It is not for us to question God's divine purpose, no matter how odd or screwed-up it may seem."
