It’s down to minutes before something or someone has to intervene, would you really give a @#*%$ about violating the sanctity of separation between Federal and State?

In a word? Yes. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. I would not contribute to further violation the separation of powers between the states and the national government for anyone, even my family. And before you doubt, I have discussed end of life issues with my family and will be instituting a very specific living will.

I have suggested a redress within the legislatures of the separate and sovereign states. A redress that alleviates further concerns on the issue and would stay within Constitutional bounds. However, instead of forwarding your concern in this format, I am attacked with emotional arguments. I have offered condolences for your loss, however I can not and will not advocate action(s) that continually strip the ideal of federalism from our nation of states

We staged a protest at a Governor's bike rally in Aiken to get his attention. We got his attention and lip service about how he was going to look into it.

I noticed that you pick and choose which parts you like to respond to but you didn't respond to what you would do that we hadn't done already. How would you get the states attention in time to prevent the death of a loved one?

And, if you can't look at your loved ones with emotion, you have got a serious problem that no one can help you with.

I just can't fathom a person telling a loved one that he cannot violate the sanctity of the state, so you'll have to die. I guess it sucks that you have to die. That has to be one cold-hearted creature.

Murder is murder. No law is legitimate that allows it. It is not a seperation of powers issue. It is an issue of basic legitimacy of any power, it is an issue of the duty of any in power to stop a murder when it is seen to be occuring. The proverbial "Do not stand by while your brother's blood is shed."

No matter who "rational" you may perceive your current attitude to be, it is not -- for it allows both suicide and murder.
