Abortion and euthanasia are not remotely the same thing sir.
They are not? Hmmm
Murder is Murder.....justified or not. Killing a baby or helping an elderly do the same is really in reality the same, by definition.
A full grown adult, legally culpable for any decisions they may make, should certainly have the right to choose their time of dying, should the be in a position of terminal illness to the point that their life consists of nothing but physical pain, and mental anquish.
Ok if you believe it is your right to CHOOSE when you die then that is one thing, but why make society condone it?
Now don't get me wrong, if one is that sick, the plug can be pulled, drugs can be given for no pain etc etc. Nature can take a Natural course. I don't want to be on a machine etc, but I want to let my maker determine the time, not me.
What this doc did was no more than saying, ok you want to die, here is a concoction of drugs, push the switch. Would this be any different than giving someone a loaded gun and showing them how to pull the trigger?
You consider it more merciful to allow a person to languish bed-ridden, in agony than to allow them the peace of the grave? I fail to see mercy in that proposition at all.
You miss the point, in the 1800's they didn't give grandma a gun and say "Granny, your a burden to us now, so please take this gun and off yourself."
Why was that an issue? Because back then Life meant Life and suicide was NOT an option. To have a doctor HELP with this is SICK. It violates his oath that he took. He is to preserve life not take it.
Where this becomes a problem and those in reading need to think about it, is when it becomes accepted.
Mengele anyone?
Again, see what is happening with the Dutch.....
Father in Heaven, forgive us for we KNOW what we do.....
Don't get mad at me but my thoughts are that if you help someone die you commit murder(unless they are trying to kill you). If you want to end your own life that is one thing but to help someone end their life is another.
EXACTLY YOU GET IT - REP INBOUND!
