I'm not arguing your point at all (though I can, if you want). I'm saying that your "proof" is no proof at all.
I could say, "The moon is NOT made of green cheese because Wisconsin doesn't make green cheese" and it would be a stupid statement to make to support my point. But that doesn't address whether the moon is or is not truly made of green cheese.
Please re-read what supercat wrote...though I disagree with his opinions much of the time, he does a good job explaining.
Now to compare this slippery slope with Europe. Euthanasia is becoming more and more normalized out there.
There's a difference between voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. That difference is respect for an individual's preferences. We need a culture of respect, not just a culture of life. Both cultures of life (at all costs) and death are cultures of disrespect.
I'm old enough to remember when abortion was made legal by the Supreme Court. The press said that there would not be more than 100,000 abortions a year. Thirty-five million dead babies later, we see that the liberals lied.
Don't kid yourself. Terri's death was used to hype the Living Will. This gives judges the power over life and death, because in the GA case, the judge clearly ruled against the stipulations of this woman's wishes. Judges do that, you know.
Our worthless legislators need to get some laws protecting the lives of those with a Living Will in place, because euthanasia is obviously the next big thing for the culture of death. In our utilitarian world, the elderly will be just as defenseless as the unborn child is, as others decide who will live and who will die based on convenience and "quality of life" criteria.
"I'm not arguing your point at all (though I can, if you want). I'm saying that your "proof" is no proof at all."
Hitler's logic is seductive and very similar to those who preach euthanasia today. I proved it, although only to me and the one I talked with.
