The government in my home state of Western Australia has just passed some of the most far-reaching euthanasia laws in the nation, and they are proud. Gleeful even.

“You’re not one of those evangelicals are you?” I’d just settled into the plane for the five hour flight back home across this great brown land called Australia, and I was tired.
