"Are they going to go out and undo all the hard work that people have done to make sure they can die without having to go to court?" said Dr. Jean Teno, associate director at Brown University's Gerontology and Health Care Research Center.

There are some who are interested in going a lot further than that.
They want to make it illegal to refuse treatment, any treatment, either viva voce if concious or via living will if not.

Given half a chance, they will keep the unwilling hooked to tubes by force and in painful useless treatments as long as possible.

Neither extreme is appropriate.

You are jumping from one extreme to the other.

No, afraid not, there are too many ghouls who want only the healthy, elite to breathe earth's air.

When man takes on God's realm, man fails miserably because man is man not a god. Man does not love all, man is not impartial and fair. Man's decisions will seek the lowest denominator because we live in a world of sin - not a world filled with many gods.

I would prefer God make the decisions that belong to God.

Not flaming, just real questions.

Thank you.

Show me these people who would "make it illegal to refuse treatment, any treatment, either viva voce if concious or via living will if not.

Why is it so important to you that Terri Schiavo had to be forbidden nutrition and hydration by *natural* means, under threat of government guns and arrest?
