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.

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.

Patients would have the RIGHT to end their suffering with the aid of a physician. Involuntary euthanasia is just good old fashioned murder. That's not the issue at hand. No, I believe that God is the arbiter. You are trying to force the government to make MAN the arbiter Civil law either puts something under government control or leaves it up to the individual. You may believe that God is the arbiter, but you are letting a government clerk have the final say on what God wills.
