...this is not a "right to die" movement, but a "right to kill the sick and elderly" movement...

It is even more sinister than you think. It really is a "right to terminate those with an unacceptable quality of life" movement. Of course, the 'enlightened' get to define what is "quality of life".

This movement actually wants to re-define a person as someone with a good quality of life. If your quality of life is insufficient (due to illness, disease,etc) then you are not a person anymore and you can be terminated just like a fetus.

This is exactly what we are talking about. When people say, "they should kill her because she wouldn't want to live like that". Ask most disabled people & they will tell you (if they are able) that given the choice between dying or being disabled - most people will still fight for life. This essence to survive is what has kept mankind around for all these years. I've heard incredible stories about what people will do to survive.

Only when we become a society that respects all individuals - the unwanted, the disabled, the aged, the young, the helpless & weak among us - only when we have respect and allow them dignity, will we achieve great things. It is clear that Jesus commanded us to take care of the widows & orphans, the sick, etc.

Taking the easy way out, disposing of people like we do unwanted animals, or cockroaches, is this the kind of society that thrives?

The day they legalized abortion, things started rapidly declining in this nation. Statistics prove it all out. The great experiement DIDN'T WORK. It's still not working & they're still trying to do it. Liberals still don't get it. This stuff DOESN'T WORK.

We need to get back on the right track.
