Thanks moe, I was wondering when someone was going to hit this one up and take a break from abortions...

Euthanasia is mercy killing and whether assisted suicide is right. South park wouldn't touch it with a 40 foot pole, but I don't think anyone believes pain and suffering need to be endured for the sake of keeping someone alive.

I would support both the active and passive laws for euthanasia if they were ever instituted. The biggest caution is obviously active euthanasia. If someone wants to die and needs helps, good old Jack can come in and do his job. We need to make sure that they understand what they are doing and help them.

As for passive, it just sickens me that the woman down in Florida is still on life support after so many years being a vegetable. I think the husband is trying to end her suffering and the parents are clinging to some false hope she'll recover. Since the governor felt so inclined to step in and use legislative power to stop her from dying, maybe it's time they ste up and let the voters decide the issue.
