This has been said to be about freedom of choice.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

According to the Vatican your new face is an absurdity and I would not argue with them.

But because she didn't die in agony, god is now spreading that agony out amongst those of us willing to read this thread.
The law of conservation of agony. Agony can neither be created, destroyed nor avoided. I'ts just converted into someone elses agony. So be a good christian and internalize your agony, feed it, nurture it. If you do so you are saving others from agony. WWJD? |

One of the joys of omnipotence must be that if you really want someone to live until a particular day, all of the sodium pentothal in the world won't kill that person.

Tommy-
You miss my point when you imply I'm was being contradictory when I wrote about different types of euthanasia after writing previously that euthanasia is not the main issue in this case. The issue is freedom of choice. The euthanasia debate keeps obscuring that. |

I'm said to disrespect by you, Bob, and now S2000 says I seem to be condemning.
Where does the word "should" fit in freedom of choice? "Words like *should* and* must* are the same." http://www.gaiamtv.com/article/ahimsa-yo......violence |

The word "should" is completely compatible with free choice. Person A makes a free choice, and Person B is free to feel like A should or should not have made the choice. Then Person B makes a free choice about whether or not to vocalize his thoughts on the matter.p

That doesn't mean the same thing as "you're disrespectful." Not showing respect is passive. Being disrespectful is active.
Nor do "should" and "must" mean the same thing. |
