The Left has an obsession with death and seems to think its OK to harangue the heck out of everybody else for not being compassionate enough to embrace beliefs they find questionable and decline to support.

The end game is the same anyway, some of us just want to stick around to watch the credits roll by.. again and again. ;-)

"Actions taken in accordance with this act do not constitute suicide, assisted suicide, mercy killing, or homicide."

A conundrum, the DC city Council. They can't stop muggings on their city streets, nor deaths of homeless, nor crimes committed by elected officials in the Capitol building, but they ARE able to change the definitions of common English words. Amazing.

I would argue they almost have a duty to do so.

We have competing moral views

Not really. Unless you consider absence of morals a moral view.

There may be competing dogmas and executions of moral views, but this country was founded on one set of written and unwritten moral values, and everyone but the revisionists and deniers knows what it is.

An approved candidate must ingest the poison himself — and may not do so “in a public place.” The council apparently has keen sensibilities about what should not happen on city streets. …

Yes, if you kill yourself on a public street, you’re gonna be in real trouble.

If this congressman wants to kill himself, nobody is stopping him. If he tries and fails, he should be charged with attempted murder.

But why does a person planning suicide need to involve anyone else. It should be a very personal act... not an occupation.

We have legal minds passing laws that allow people to kill them selves with drugs, but there are not drugs that the ACLU says can be administered in prison to carry out a death penalty that do not induce cruel and unusual punishment.

You can't have it both ways.

No one’s stopping him from killing himself now. He just wants the force of law to drag the medical profession into it so he feels better about doing it.

For some of them, I’d say it was a duty!

I want Connelly the prime Fascist of Congress to off himself as an example of what he is talking about.

I’ve known some pretty nutty congressmen during my years covering the Hill but Connelly is the meanest, nastiest, most fascist of them all.

If he were born in the early part of the 20th century, he would have ended up as one of Hitler’s top men along with Himmler, Heydrich, and Eichmann.

he’s that kind of person, a George Soros on steroids with a Hitlerian mind and personality.

Oh, I forgot. He’s a top Democrat Party voice. Figures!

You have the right to kill yourself.

You do not have the right to involve anyone else in the process.

Not sure what is so complicated about that.

Everyone has the right to murder themselves. They just don’t have the right to involve others in their act of murder.
