Frist's wealth and the attacks by the SEC stopped his presidential run in its tracks.
It's called dictatorship. In a representative democracy when elected officials don't follow the will of the people they are replaced. >>
When elected officials allow mass murder on their watch they are removed and imprisoned, and spat upon by history. When they give up, they are mocked and not elected.
If you think it's dictatorship, go to a land where killing weaklings is government policy. Take a time machine to Germany, 1939.
Only to a degree. When elected officials go too far in ignoring the will of the people, they tend to get voted out of office.
Americans do not want the government involved in such end-of-life decisions.

That's right!...let families itching to get aunt Millie's money, insurance companies who are looking at the bottom line, and death nuts control those decisions.
Frist is a future presidential also-ran (if he gets that far), but I haven't been following his fortunes that closely. What does the Southeastern Conference have against him?
And what U.S. government officials have been removed and imprisoned for mass murder recently? By your logic then, mass murder must not have occurred.
No, let's have people think ahead for a change, and make their own wishes known. My husband and I had a medical power of attorney in place long before the Schiavo case. If anyone is out there without one AFTER the Schiavo case, they're pretty clueless.

Cartoon summed it up pretty well. Old Mom is in a hospital and hooked up to life support. Her son is about to pull the plug from the wall with one hand and is staring at the will which he holds in the other, a big smile on his face. Old Mom says to him, "Son, I should have aborted you like I did all the others!"

By your logic a mandate (which might be for mass murder, who knows?) isn't a crime. So how can one be removed or imprisoned for not committing a crime. I know,... by majority mandate or...anarchy
Nope. The right to life is absolute regardless of any "living will" and if such a document allows active termination of life then it is null and void.
The right to life should not depend on whether you had the money to consult a lawyer beforehand.
Since when has the default been cancelled?
Preserve life. Do no harm.
The physician's oath?
The downward leftist spiral into insanity hasn't slowed it appear even here.
Explain that. I'm interested in seeing how your logic works.
If you have a "living will" after the Schiavo case, you are the clueless one, unless you have a scientific and medical crystal ball.

Oooh that's good! And then they came for me.....Sums up pretty well the insidious descent into social fragmentation.
I like a smart man. We do not want the government involved in these decisions.
An unwinnable goal. We will ALL die.
I think your problem is that you believe in a straight Democracy, I believe in a Republic.
No silly, that's merely your gross mischaracterization of it.
I think you haven't been reading my posts very well.
If it is always all or nothing with you, than all laws are futile.
