I view myself as deeply pro-life and this measure makes complete sense to me. Technology can delay natural death far beyond what is reasonable.

At some point the decision to allow death to happen (not to CAUSE death) is the right one.

I agree, this isn’t assisted suicide at all. I belive we can refuse treatment in this country as well.

Turn that statement around and apply it to organ harvesting. Technology has caused the harvest of the most sought after organs from living people. Technology speeds the "natural death" for the so-called greater cause.

This is not about choice it is about adapting definitions BECAUSE of technology in my opinion. Anyone can take their own life but anybody cannot take another's organs without defining death so it is possible.

Not interested in arguing just sayin'
