There’s a difference between advocating death and accepting death as inevitable. It is something we all will share in, whatever else it brings thereafter. Sometimes the length is not as important as the breadth. Some liberals advocate death because for them life is a disease. As conservatives we love life and we enjoy the creations that life brings. It is reasonable to love one’s life and want as much of the best of it as possible until there is no more to be had, and let it end without being enslaved to years of artificial misery. I suppose many doctors see the long drawn out suffering that is sometimes imposed on the dying and want no part of it.

Very good post. These are not ‘death panels’ as some in here are trying to twist it into.
The media has a theme regarding death, to always promote it, and from every angle, to every varying audience, and to undermine our culture of life and valuing life, and of our duty to God to place value on all human lives.
This death message has been being hammered by Time and the media since at least the early 1970s.
