BINGO! Many of these people who claim to know better how to run peoples' lives than the individuals themselves are not just arrogant, but they are very disrespectful of people being individuals and not just faceless "lives"... The Culture of DisrespectTM is loving to break down our personal rights and tell us we all must live (or keep our bodies going even after we're dead) for as long as medical technology can do so, because we are enslaved to "the good of society."
The claim that "euthanasia leads to disrespect for life" is a strawman created by lumping involuntary euthanasia with voluntary euthanasia/self-determination. Since when does self-determination and personal rights lead to a disrespect for life?
There is and never has been "a right to die." This is completely a modern day phenomenon. People believing in furthering Euthanasia, have exploited the reality of technological advancements to promote their cause. Of those opposing the euthanasia movement, few if any would argue that people should be kept alive indefinitely by extraordinary means like heart and lung machines.
However, those pushing the death agenda, would prematurely and actively end the lives of certain people, who are not using extraordinary means, thus interfering with the natural death process. At NO time in the history of our country was this ever perceived as a "right." Such people place themselves above God. It doesn't get more ARROGANT than that.
