"In leaving it a matter for the states we find out who stands for righteousness and who stands for death."

This reeks of nanny-statism. Let the individuals decide what they want to stand for. Don't force people to adhere to some social obligation to go throughout intense pain against their own will to live up to some romanticized version of dying. Mentally sound adults should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to keep fighting.

Again I state that anyone who wants to die isn't mentally sound and that no one is arguing against pain medication.

Let the individuals decide what they want to stand for.

Exactly. That's up to them to decide what they want their state policies to be.

I hope most states choose life. God touches hearts through the dying process and brings many souls to himself. Dealing with pain is actually a part of life.

If nanny states want to choose to social engineer who lives and dies that's up to them. But by far most states will choose life. The others should be shunned.
