Opus?
Everything is up to God. Go insult God on some Democratic Party forum, please.
Not every conservative is a Christian and there are many Christian democrats. FR used to have Darwin threads, plenty of Atheists. This attempt to cram all conservatives in one small crate is ridiculous and scary.
Not everyone believes in God - and even some who do (though perhaps not of your particular faith) believe that they should have the right to make a self-chosen exit when facing a terminal diagnosis and unbearable pain.
I admit that it’s a very ‘slippery slope’ to codify something like this; but I’m not going to judge someone very old and very ill for taking that way out.
I have no idea if this guy believed in God, but if he did and had faith, he is saved. God is not going to send him to hell. I used to think people who committed suicide was a one way ticket to hell. No more. God knows what is in our hearts.
That’s not an insult to God. I totally agree with what he did. If I get to a point where I am non-functioning and need help to do the most basic things, then I become a burden to others, and I serve no useful purpose. I have no one to rely on in my old age (except me) - nor do I expect others to do it. If I choose to go out, I will choose to go out with my dignity intact. I should be able to choose how and when. Others should not tell me how to live - or end - my life.
