But states may sanction others to take away life without due process? I'm deeply confused.

The Declaration of Independence has no legal standing

@Bookworm Exactly, you got it right now.

foundational document

No one is taking life away except the individual taking their own life

The doctor comes in with a pill, leaves,

"deprive"

you chose to take it or not

vs. assisting you to take your own life

Even Kavorkian's Machine required the person to press the button themselves

Btw cat, how old is your son?

Also, we turn off machines or withdraw tube feedings from people all the time because of their written and notarized wills or on the direction of their powers of attorney

My son in 17yo

Does he play any PC games?

Not really

RIP

I want more guys around my age to game with

Hey Doc, I've got this KILLER headache, got any pills for me?

I;'ll see about bringing him to Sakura Con

I will be 21 by then

That is gonna be fun

I have lots of ways to treat headaches, from a good meal to lidocaine injections in certain points of the face and neck.

Perfect, you can buy the booze for both of you guys then.

Not so sure how Cat would feel about that

It's not against federal law, so she'll be fine :D;;;

I think you'd find my son rejecting it

It's against state law

That is true too

Actually, isnt it okay if your parent permits it and it is in private?

Better doublecheck the wording on that. Most state laws are tricky about it.

Well that was my first time registering for sakura con didnt know I got a discount

Why do we even have federal laws against murder?

How is that a federal jurisdiction?

We apparently don't. Murder seems to be legal federally because it's not in the constitution.

We do.

Title 18 of the federal US Law Code.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1111

because congress is granted the authority to create laws

murder is not "legal federally"
in cases where The United States has police power, murder is illegal
i.e. Wash DC, federal land, military bases, etc.

as long as it doesnt break a constitutional right then they can do it

And what part of the Constitution gives them police power?
