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.

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.

So what if someone is an atheist, do they still have to be forced to suffer excruciating pain in order to accommodate your religion? How compassionate of you. The only life you own is your own, what others decide to do to their own is not your business nor the state's.

"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."

Please cite where I say that the state should get to decide who lives and dies. If states let people DECIDE to kill themselves by smoking does this mean they decide "who lives and dies" by giving adults the opportunity to make this decision? The state is not choosing anything. The individual who owns his or her own life is.
