I oppose government involvement in personal medical issues. Government has no right to end an innocent life, it also has no right to extend life against the wishes of a dying individual.
If the government is the ultimate arbiter of life and death (as you want it to be), the government has a right to say a baby is not really human and can be aborted. I am both pro-life and pro-euthanasia, either you let the government decide who lives and who dies, or you leave that choice to the individuals involved. I chose the later.
Yet you want the GOVERNMENT to legislate policy whereby physicians would be REQUIRED to end a patient's life.
If the government is the ultimate arbiter of life and death (as you want it to be),
No, I believe that God is the arbiter. You are trying to force the government to make MAN the arbiter.
Pro-life means choosing to kill is not an option. You cannot be both pro-life and pro-death. The views you’re expressing are certainly not pro-life. No one here is suggesting that the government should decide who lives and who dies. The government should not have a choice in the matter. Murder, in all its forms, is off the table. Period.
Terri Schindler Schiavo with a life expectancy of 75 YEARS, was a victim of state sponsored homocide. Our current governor Crist is getting married later this week. I wonder if his little bride knows that he was part of the killing of an innocent life of a wife. Keyword: Charlie Crist Terri Schiavo
