Since we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then we get to make end of life choices is (I think) the judge's reasoning.
That really is an open door without even the need to be terminally ill.
I don’t care if you kill yourself, you have zero right to get others to help kill you
This is just crazy.
A couple or so weeks ago I wrote a song about “If your mother and father forsake you/The Lord will take you up” and I felt moved to put in the second verse, “Though loudly rings death’s hideous bell” ... and I wondered how would that apply, other than metaphorically? (I go with metaphors a lot, so I went ahead and wrote it that way.) What would “death’s hideous bell” be?
Now I know. The temptation to do yourself in.
Folks, the answer is by every means to get people aware not merely (or even chiefly) of a God that “commands you to behave” — but a God who “cares enough to want to keep and preserve you, beginning right where you are.”
The self-made “God” that you can try to use as a guilt and shame trip on others you don’t like and a pride trip on your own wisdom, is long gone; with the rot of society, went that god’s chorus. You could “try” the hellfire method, but unless you are truly sincere as a Christian, you are likely to look like a bible thumping, self proud tyrant. But if you are sincere, other methods will work even better, because you are going to have supernatural backing. Psych-tricks are not needed.
