I know I came into this late, and seem to have missed many posts. However, at the risk of having you repeat yourself ad-nauseum: If the patient is the one who makes the final decision (i.e 'presses the button'), then they are committing suicide - which is legal as you said in an earlier post. The patient already had the right to commit suicide before the RTI Act, and still does even now. Since the doctor isn't the one doing the killing, why do you say the RTI Act is about the right to kill? With or without the RTI Act, people are still able to kill _themselves_. Old Wolf
