I totally agree with you. Besides, we are a Republic not a Democracy with the inherent mob rule that a full Democracy would bring.
It's very upsetting that we have so few true leaders in our government and in public life, in general, but I have high hopes that issues like this will bring them out eventually.
Killing people like Terri is murder in my books and should be punished as such.
If those who wish to end lives even due to what they call "mercy" then they should be fully adult enough to take the heat and pay for what they've done according to what society would demand of them. Some get off. Some do time. Some do major time.
If a person wants to die, then they can die if they do it by their own hand, they shouldn't drag others into the cesspool with them.
The government has no business getting into the forcible death of innocents business just like they have no business legalizing abortion.
For years I've thought, if a girl wants to get an abortion, let her get one out of the country or illegally and face the consequences but keep the government out of the death business.
This whole mess is dragging the country down into the gutter and dirtying the soul of this nation.
Disclaimer: War and criminals don't count, they are different animals altogether so don't bother going there.
We are all going to die, and there is nothing government can do about it.
