A) You seem to hold doctors in very low esteem, equating them with paid hit men.

I regard doctors as I do all people, corrupt and tending towards evil. If evil is profitable, then men will arise to do it. The way to keep this manageable is to ensure that the temptation does not arise. This is the problem in the Catholic church placing sexually active homosexuals in the clergy, and allowing them to associate with young men. The results were inevitable. I do not regard doctors as being of a higher moral caliber than men of the cloth. If we make it legal for doctors to kill essentially anyone they want, and there are people who will profit from these deaths, then killing people for profit will become an active branch of 'medicine'.

You are stretching the facts. Nobody is advocating what you say they are," If we make it legal for doctors to kill essentially anyone they want..." but allowing those who choose to to assistthose who are competent to make their own choices.

Murder is still murder and it happens today with today's laws.

I wonder if it is your fears that govern your decisions or your desires to make decisions for other people.
