A CATHOLIC VOTERS GUIDE -
THE FIVE NON-NEGOTIABLE ISSUES
Euthanasia
Often disguised by the name "mercy killing," euthanasia also is a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person.
In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).

Socaratic Logic: Terri Schiavo was not dying; therefore Terri Schiavo was killed.

Thanks for posting this.
We know what killing by dehydration/starvation is like...
