Post your brief (2–3 paragraphs) response to the Discussion Board. You must respond to 2 other students’ posts. The statement is as follows: “Our current acceptance of a right to die, especially for those who are unconscious and need a proxy decision maker, is a rather slippery slope that may, in the future, be used not to protect individual autonomy or privacy but rather to serve as a facade to rid us of individuals whose lives we do not value” You are free to take this discussion in any direction you would like, as it will depend on your position and supporting material.
