Be careful what you wish for. I expect the discourse to now turn to a "more humane" manner of disposing of the "useless." The courts have now proven their sovereignty in determining who shall die, and I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige those so condemned with a quicker death.
We need laws to protect life itself.
I fully agree with you, I wasn't suggesting that we should make it easier to kill disabled people.
That was the plan all along.Euthanasia,let's get rid of them faster,painlessly you know?
....We need laws to protect life itself
Yes, and I suggest that each check the end-of-life laws and who makes the decisions in their states and keep on watching it. Throw absolute fits when a panel or a group becomes the determiner of the state's handling of such.
Looks like (from another poster) Florida at first set up a End-of-Life panel for recommendations to be considered, then the end-of-life panel made recommendations that WOULD be made in to law as the legislature signed the responsibility over to them "due to expertise". Therefore, they recommend and it is immediate law. Of course, the euthanasia group is rampant in such committees.
We each must find out our state laws - and get busy insuring that we and our children are safe from the ghouls thinking it is more profitable for us to not be here.
Another point......
The Living Will. Insure that there is NO provision for the medical staff to override your wishes. Florida has a statement that "advanced directives" can be over-ridden by the doctors. And it did not specify "who" can write advanced directives. With a little loose interpretation - the hospital or others probably could.
We will have to watch what we allow the euthanasia society to foist on American life.
