Perhaps I should read this more often?

He should be locked up for life

Hey, if we'd just quarantine people with infectious diseases which they insist on spreading to others by plugging up someone else’s rump, maybe he would have become a serial killer.

Gotta say, I'd HOPE that he's run out of friends by this point.

Liberals love to kill. It’s their thing.

[JohnBrowdie]

I’m so glad he “felt good” about it. evil bastard.

[Catmom]

Hey, what are friends for?

The killing decision in euthanasia and assisted suicide isn’t really the suicidal person’s “choice:” It is the killer’s or helper’s. In other words, life will end only if the joint venturer in the killing believes the suicidal person’s life is not worth living.

The author nails it. A person who really and truly wants to die will find a way to do the deed himself. Someone who seeks "assistance" either 1) has doubts, 2) lacks sufficient courage to follow through, and/or 3) wants someone else to take on the responsibility and the guilt of taking a life. The only possible exception I can think of is a person who physically incapable of the act (e.g. someone who is completely paralyzed).

The vast majority of those wishing to end their own lives are quite capable of doing so themselves. This push to entangle the rest of society into that decision says to me that on some level there is resistance, that those wanting to do themselves in know it’s wrong. They’re looking for an accomplice to shoulder some of the blame.

Anyone who is still able to move is also able to do this themselves. Do not get pulled into it, it’s wrong even if it seems compassionate to end their suffering. Your own sins are burden enough, don’t take that one on, too.

When the new drugs suddenly burst on the scene, AIDS patients literally bounced back from death’s door to vitality. In other words, some of those killed by the euthanasia network might not have died at all but for being the subject of homicide!

Oopsie. So let me get this straight: this guy (1) made a unilateral decision that there was no hope; (2) gave his friends a lethal dose of whatever, and; (3) woke up to find out that he was wrong, that there was hope after all. And somehow this isn't murder?

That's the problem with playing God. Once in awhile the real one will remind you that you aren't.

OK, time for some unspoken truth: AIDS is a death sentence, administered by an infected man who’d kill someone else just so he could get his jollies. The whole AIDS epidemic was entirely because perverts would always have unprotected sex and didn’t care at all that their actions would spread the disease and kill dozens, hundreds, thousands of others.

It shouldn’t be at all surprising that they would be able to “euthanize” their former partners - they were responsible for their condition in the first place.
