Look, it can learn

Ask yourself what religion(s) and what religious denomination(s) have been fighting against assisted suicide and right to die laws tooth and nail, (despite having no standing whatsoever to interfere in personal life choices) and you'll have your answer. Of course, you could claim that none are or ever have, but we both know that would be a lie.

And just to remind everyone about the Catholic interference in the Terry Schiavo case:

"The Vatican likened the removal of her feeding tube to capital punishment for an innocent woman."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
