This will be my last post on the subject. I’m very pro-life when it comes to children and those who can’t protect themselves. However if a rational adult makes a decesion to die, then its their own bussiness, not the bussiness of the state or anyone else except them and god.

That's commendable, but one either believes in the sanctity of all innocent life or they don't.

As far as I can determine, in the current thinking, it would be the decision of the state to determine whose life was "worth living."

This determination would be made by people exercising the same intellectual integrity shown by employees of the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

But beyond this, how is it that the government is determined to be the arbiter of this issue at all?

Only a socialist (communist on training wheels) would even presume that the government had any role at all in the issue (their point: because "we're all paying for it.")

Collectivism is the most profound present-day evil imaginable.
