3. Your position that people should be encouraged to kill themselves to save their families money is detestful and barbaric.
How is sacrificing oneself for one's family detestful? Soldiers have been doing that for people that they are not related to, you know.

Comparing soldiers whose duty it is to kill the enemy, knowing that their own lives may be sacrificed, has nothing - I repeat, NOTHING - whatsoever to do with promoting or legalizing doctor assisted suicide.

Nothing.

The fact that you say the two are equal shows you know absolutely nothing about military service or the medical profession, what to speak of the essence of right and wrong.

To the morally blind your argument looks good. In fact it fails.

The soldier who gives his LIFE that others may LIVE acts out of the highest level of love and the highest level of morality, a life for a life.

You equate money to life in the argument that I ought to be willing to kill myself so that my death costs less money. A void and sorrowfilled failure as an argument.

If you can't get the difference between these two situations, it is certainly beyond my power to explain it to you. I'll just give you a warnng: Be careful what you advcate as noble, lest it become a duty for you someday.

By your twisted logic, 3500 American women are "sacrificing" their children each day in abortuaries. They are doing this to save money, because children are expensive.

You are really sick.
