I question was recently asked in a Globe and Mail poll - Do you believe people have a right to die on their own terms?

Here was my response:

When the question is asked if a person should have the right to die however they want, it is an intentionally vague question which opens many possibilities. It's interesting to note that the question was not, do you believe in euthanasia, or do you believe in doctor assisted suicide, but rather do you believe in choice (essentially). But when a topic such is this is dumbed down to such a degree, very little rational thought goes into clicking yes or no. In many cases, the question phrased in a different way, would bring dynamically different results, which I think is the reason the question was asked the way that it was.
