Calling it assisted suicide and contract killing seems just as "appropriate" to me.



I'm Not sure why adding an extra illness to the list of those eligible for legal contract killing is "NO BIG DEAL".
killing people is NO BIG DEAL? really?
I always thought excuses for killing people, or even hurting people had to be a pretty big deal.
When did adding excuses for legally killing folks become no big deal exactly?
Semantics.

I hate to be consistent here, but shouldn't it be the individual's choice, regardless the label? That's from a legal point. You're making someone else's choice.

Ethically, I can honestly say I have conflicting opinions. Having watched a few close relatives die drawn-out, long suffering deaths with zero chance of survival, I can't honestly cannot deny someone that choice.

For myself, due to my religion, I can only state what my grandmother told me: "I don't know why the Good Lord has chosen this fate for me, I guess it's just another test and I have it to do."
