I respect your offering but I think you are studying the situation from reading threads perhaps. There is more mis and dis information on this subject than I could have ever imagined.

Have you read any of this/: http://home.comcast.net/~trinity_tx/index.htm

I believe it's the straight dope.

I understand that those with the opposite view to mine are convinced we have a slippery slope here and will descend quickly into euthanizing just anybody who is inconvenient. I think that is alarmist and an unfounded fear. We won't become Morlocks by letting people have a right to die when there is no hope.

I think that is alarmist and an unfounded fear.

On what basis? The entire rationale of the government established by the Founding Fathers was that government will use every power available to it, so that the power of government must be limited. Greer has just established that the government can order you to not be fed by any means. What evidence do you have that the government will be inclined to stop there? Has the slow creep against traditional marriage taught you nothing?
