And I suppose that you, and John Ashcroft, know what God's will is?

I absolutely do know what God's will is regarding the Oregon law. It's the same as his will regarding the court decision that legalized the murder of unborn babies. He made it very clear in the sixth commandment. The original Hebrew translates to, "You shall do no murder".

Assisting a person in the commission of suicide is morally equivalent to the crime of accessory to murder, and Oregon physicians are now legally free to assist in the commission of suicide by prescribing the necessary drugs to facilitate the killing.

When other states join Oregon and start jumping on the euthanasia bandwagon it will be a race to the bottom to see who can murder the most human beings each year, the hired killers in the abortion mills or the ghoulish doctors who will be making a mint by prescribing death drugs for senile octogenarians who have become nuisances to their family caretakers.

No it isn't. Murder is killing someone against his will, s suicide, assisted or not, id not murder.

To people like us being legally able to kill oneself might not sound like much of a right, but what's important about this decision is that it directly contradicts the horrible Raich decision of last term, which held that the Controlled Substances Act, the same federal law invoked in this case, superseded state law. This contradiction is in fact the basis of thomas' dissen in this case: he wanted consistency from the Court.

In any case, this makes the Court look like vacillating fools on the states' rights issue. It creates an opportunity for them to decide another states' rights case that clears the matter up.
