But the post presented a hypothetical wherein it was not optional, such as it is for abortion counseling. However, the difference, from a pro-life perspective, is obvious. I find it hard to believe that the author truly doesn't see the difference, as if it is an agreed upon fact that a fetus is not a life worth advocating for, and therefore the only thing to be considered is whether the choice of the mother should be restricted. If this isn't circular reasoning, I don't know what is. Just so my position is clear, I have no problem with optional end-of-life counseling being covered.

The comparison with abortion is not appropriate. If the government decided to cover euthanasia counseling I would guess the reaction would be similar to the abortion debate, ie many people would see the procedure itself as unethical.

That the counseling isn't mandatory. It's just covered should the patient wish to have such a session with their doctor. The doctor doesn't even have to offer it. That has been cleared up by Fact Check a couple of times, but I've seen folks repeating the false claims about privacy.<br><br>But I suppose it's a moot point since it got taken out. I think it's a rather nice thing to offer in terms of coverage-- certainly not something I typically see covered now-- and I'm hoping it gets added back in with some better language.

But I suppose it's a moot point since it got taken out. I think it's a rather nice thing to offer in terms of coverage– certainly not something I typically see covered now– and I'm hoping it gets added back in with some better language.
