According to the Founding Fathers, Rights were also sacred. If you make society the judge of what a Right is worth to an individual, what an individual should do or not do with his life, then you might as well start posting with the other Right-Grabbers on DU.
I'm curious what other compulsory behaviors you favor, besides living in agony. Perhaps you'd like to force people to join a church?
Love is also respecting a person's wishes, IMHO, and not reversing their life-end preferences based on one's own preferences just because they have become delusional and unable to stop you. In fact, I think such behavior is selfish and immoral.
"According to the Founding Fathers, Rights were also sacred."
Check out what the rights are, as stated by the Founding Fathers. The rights come from God, not man. The so called "right to die" is not one of them.
Unfortunately, the current fad these days is to label any licentious desire as a "right." We've got people playing god these days, demanding all kinds of counterfeit rights.
Love is not "respecting a person's wishes" when those wishes are harmful to them. It would be like telling a drug addict "Don't try to get off of heroin, I love you and respect your wishes".
If your spouse was trying to kill themselves, slowly or quickly, would you just sit by and watch them do it?
