How do you cater for the situation where the relatives put pressure on the patient to end their life?

Again... it is up to the patient. If relatives are 'putting pressure', they can either succomb to the pressure or they can tell their relatives to fuck off.
 
I did pretty good, only the President was a loss...

Well, if you don't count Amendment S and 65. We had no Senators running. Congressman is a win, State Senate wasn't up, state Congress was a win (Tim Dore). DA was a win (George Brauchler), regulating pot was a win.

I'm relatively happy with the result.

Of course it does Simplefreak.

Without voluntary euthanasia being legal, involuntary is off the table.

With it legal, every single case becomes a judgement call.

Christ you are more liberal in a bad way than I am.

your argument is specious. it is like saying that because you can kill in self defense, that the slippery slope will lead to permissive murder.
 
Relatives putting pressure on someone is pretty irrelevant. Now I am sure you can google an example of where it happened, but in order to take someone off of life support, as it stands right now, you will have to sit down with a roomful of doctors and medical professionals and you will also be asked questions about financial matters. In other words; who benefits? And the doctors have to already have a catastrophic diagnosis.

And as long as voluntary is never allowed, the door to involuntary stays shut.

LMAO... wrong. The same door is always 'open'. Allowing voluntary does no more to open the door to involuntary than not allowing it. Involuntary would STILL have to be made legal either way.
