J.C. Osborne presents a uniquely libertarian argument for decriminalizing medical assistance in dying — one that is fundamentally different from mainstream MAID advocacy. This is not a request for state-regulated physician-assisted death. It is a constitutional and natural law argument that the state never had legitimate authority to criminalize the right to die in the first place. The argument rests on four pillars: 1. The right to die is a pre-political natural right that predates the state — it was never the state's to regulate 2. Criminalizing private contracts between consenting adults to facilitate death is an illegitimate intrusion on freedom of contract 3. Criminalizing the right to die constitutes a regulatory taking without just compensation under the 5th Amendment 4. Forcing a person to continue living against their will, while extracting taxes and labor from their involuntary continuation, is involuntary servitude This is a negative rights argument — we are not asking the state to act or create a new framework. We are demanding it remove a criminal law it never had the authority to pass. This topic is directly relevant to the LP Texas platform on individual liberty, bodily autonomy, and the limits of state authority. It will challenge attendees to think beyond conventional right-to-die advocacy and engage with a principled, philosophically rigorous case grounded in natural law and the 9th Amendment.
