Euthanasia
Jordan Ballor takes on growing public support for this ultimate expression of "radical personal autonomy:" Give Me Liberty and Give Me Death: The Right to Die, the Duty to Live.

The piece states that:
    The National Platform of the Libertarian Party adopted at the May 2004 Convention in Atlanta speaks of "the right to commit suicide" as an application of "the ultimate right of an individual to his or her own life."
Such silly talk of "rights" is but one reason why, however influenced I may be by certain strains of paleolibertarian thought, I do not consider myself a libertarian.
