Personally I am a little conflicted on this.

I am against Abortion. I am for Executions for capitol crimes. I am against murder, but have no problem with killing in war or self-defense. I have read that the commandment Thou shalt not kill is really more closely translated to Thou shalt not commit murder.

I don't like the idea of gov’t or anyone promoting suicide to thin out the “unwanted or drains on society”. But I am having a hard time seeing the wrong in someone making an individual choice about it. I have thought about it to the extent that, personally, I would hate to be elderly and dependent on others. I think the chance of neglect or mistreatment is high and I don't want to be trapped in that type of existence. I would hate to be mentally alert trapped in a non-functioning body or physically healthy but mentally gone.

I am hoping God takes me quickly before I get to one of those situations....
