Your right Carry_Okie, this is a point too often lost on most of us.
As our medical technology gets better & better, it will be possible, be it at extraordinary expense to keep people alive indefinitely. Anyone who demands we must do so at all costs will, if successful, find themselves unable to do anything but labor to keep them alive.
God has his time for every life form on this earth. Sometimes that time is not long after they are conseved, sometimes it is after an unusually long life. It is only murder when we ACT to end someones time on Earth, not when we fail to act to extend it.
Like it or not we cannot possibly sustain the effort required to extend every life indefinitely. Indeed our very effort to do so has already produced many undesirable and detrimental consequences not only for our lives but the lives of those we have acted to keep here on this earth long after God would have otherwise had them return home(to heaven).
On this matter I whole wholeheartedly agree with Ron Paul. The bountries of the State in defining what is murder is(and always has been) indeed that of the State Goverment & Constitution. Not the business of the Federation.
To suggest otherwise is to take us down a very dark path of centralized power over the individual, where there be no map at all to guide us or limit our power hungry leader.
More nonsense. The protection of every person’s God-given, unalienable right to live, from their creation until natural death, is not in any way a tyranny, as your post would suggest. The complete opposite is true.
All officers of government in this republic, in every branch, at every level, have sworn an oath, as they are required by Article Six, Section 3 to do, to provide due process and equal protection for all persons for their rights to life, liberty and property.
And all the States are guaranteed a republican form of government under our Constitution. You cannot have one of those, in the American sense, without the above. It’s not possible.
