The courts and the people were trying to argue what the right thing to do here is. Our legal system has concluded that people, if their quality of life sucks, can let themselves die. That is just. I agree that that is Just. Many people in our society believe that people should not be allowed to commit suicide under any circumstances. I believe that is wrong. Some think under the moral code that one should not be able to ever control when they live or die. I disagree with them on what the universal moral code is. Both sides agree there is a universal moral code we just disagree on what it says.
