Then again there is that whole annoying free will thing.

And there doesn't seem to be much debate about those who commit unassisted suicide.

So maybe the state should just butt out of decisions that my doctor and I make.

God's gift of free will DOES NOT mean that there are no consequences and it certainly does not mean that suicide is not a sin.

Have you actually considered the ramifications of removing government oversight from the medical profession? Because that is what you are suggesting.

Because that is what Obama is suggesting.

And when it comes to suicide or assisting suicide as a sin, that's really in God's bailiwick, not man's.

Ever thought about how ridiculous it is for suicide to be illegal? There's really not much you can do to punish a corpse. The only reason it's illegal is to give insurance companies a solid footing for their not paying out on a suicide's life insurance policy.
