tagline: If suicide is immoral, then helping it happen, regardless of motivation, is also immoral.

They are not helping suicide to happen, imo, they're aiding murder.

Hm, maybe I should change my tagline..

I don't mean for suicide to be an explanation of what I think happened to Terri Schindler or what is happening to Mae Magouirk.

I put the tagline up for the benefit of folks who favor "mercy killing"--which is one of the arguments they used against Terri and will no doubt use again against Mae--with the hopes that they'll stop and think more seriously about what they're advocating. "Mercy killing" is murder too, even if they claim the victim wanted to be "assisted" that way.

But I can see how it might be misconstrued.. I'll think about it over the weekend and change it to something a little less confusing. :-)
