It's easy to see which of us is reasonable and moral and which is a deranged violent animal who need to be controlled and locked up.
You threaten to Interfere in my life and I promise to kill you.
No one has any right to decide how soon to end my life but me, whether they want to take it against my will, or extend it against my will.
SO9
I am healthy and capable of living on about 75% support for another decade or so. At the point where I require 100% support to live, at the point when nurses must physically remove crap from my bowels, at the point when I would require a communicator to talk if I could type or sign, I wish to die peacefully, with what I have left of my dignity. Who the hell am I?
I have Friedreich's Ataxia that assigns a date for my death about 66% sooner than is normal. Before that point, I will be reduced to a vegetative state similar to that of Mrs. Schiavo. I do not wish to be publicized, do not wish to be put on display for thousands of mocking eyes, do not want the pity of every wannabe who want to be somebody by protesting to have my misery, my torture, my life, prolonged.
Nor do I wish to be starved to death, as evangelicals lobbying for the law which gives more time for a "miracle" to happen requires. What I desire is for my existence to end, when I am thirty, there will likely be no hope for me. I do not want a court battle, I do not want the federal government to infringe on states' rights (as happened when, last week, the feds ruled that the Schiavos be able to appeal to the federal courts) on my behalf. What I want is a quite shot - painless, tearless, and forceless - to end my suffering and save my dignity.
