Assisted suicide is not the answer for the terminally ill

The issue isn’t illegal aliens, no matter how much changing the subject may appeal to you.

The culture of death has ALWAYS singled out certain groups and made their existence the "reason" to advance their agenda. Free Republic is conservative, so the deathbots here use illegal aliens as the rationalization, I'm sure that the DUmmies just blame it on the Jews.

BS, we’re talking about HC reform issues and illegal aliens are fair game in that debate. so answer the freaking question.

[trisham]

Apparently your only argument is made of straw.

[RC one]

Funny how the “culture of lifers” can’t answer that simple question though, isn’t it?

[wagglebee]

Oh but it is because it’s about putting a price on human life.

I figured you would get around to this sooner or later.

What's the price? Give us a dollar amount after which a person is deemed "useless" and killed.

The book below should interest you, who knows one of your acquaintances may even have a copy.

“This person suffering from hereditary defects

costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.

People, that is your money. Read ‘New People’.”

[RC one]

apparently you’re a hypocrite. big shock.

[trisham]

Redefining an issue rather than formulating an argument is a typical liberal strategy. So is using vulgar language.

[RC one]

answer the question hypocrite.

[RC one]

answer the question hypocrite.

Funny how the “culture of lifers” can’t answer that simple question though, isn’t it?

What question is that?

It's very revealing how you have just put yourself in OPPOSITION to those who believe in the sanctity of life.

[wagglebee]

I see we hit a nerve.

>i>I never said anything about accidental death, not one word.

hmmm... Do you remember what you yourself post here from one minute to the next?

Let me remind you of your post -post # 10: "there's only one ventilator. Both patients need it immediately. which patient gets it?"

Are you now suggesting the premise of a shortage of ventilators in your straw man argument was intentional?

Care to answer or will you continue sidestepping?

[trisham]

Ah, name calling. More liberal strategy.

[RC one]

I've done no such thing. I've put myself into opposition against a group of hypocrites that think some lives are more valuable than others. I said right from the beginning: "I don’t care which of the patients you are, you would both get the same level of care from me regardless of what color you are, how much money you made in your life, which god you worshipped or didn’t worship, or which political party you were in, whether you had insurance or whether you were receiving care on the taxpayers dime or whether you were a US citizen or not because all life is equally sacred, right?" post #44

Now I'm just asking a simple question and yet I can't seam to get any kind of answer. Shouldn't tax payers be paying for everyone's healthcare so nobody dies, so we don't fall into a "culture of death"? Isn't that the Christian thing to do?

[trisham]

I see we hit a nerve.

**********************

The culture of death denies pain in its victims, but never stops wailing about its own feelings.

[RC one]

tell me about it, you have been hurling nothing but ad hominem since post #33. youre still doing it by calling me a liberal. I’ve got news for you, I’m the conservative in this argument, you’re the socialist. Should tax payers be paying for the healthcare of the uninsured and the illegal aliens? You still haven’t answered that question for some reason? why is that?

[trisham]

Again, start a thread if you want to change the subject.

[trisham]

By the way, this thread is about Jack Kevorkian and physician assisted suicide, in the event that you have forgotten.

[RC one]

No, it’s about the culture of death in case you have forgotten.
