Put the crackpipe down. Back slowly away from the keyboard.

You really shouldn’t assume that others share your vices.

Or was that just your way of distracting from your lack of factual, rational rebuttal to my points?


Please explain to me how a culture of supremely respecting patients' wishes and rights would be anything but the antithesis of what is presented in this article, which is involuntary euthanasia.

I know you think you're coming across as an intellectual powerhouse making a brilliant, irrefutable point. You're not. It takes about two seconds of thought to see the obvious fallacy in your position, that fallacy being that the notion of "patient rights" is an all-or-none choice, a zero-sum game; a presumption that if one opposes involuntary euthanasia, that should automatically resolve into a the-patient-has-a-right-to-anything-and-everything position, which is silly on its face. It's perfectly reasonable to oppose involuntary euthanasia and voluntary euthanasia and the taking of an unborn child's life. I suspect that is the exact position held on these three issues by the majority of American citizens.

Over and out.
