14. Right to die?

Sun May 6, 2012, 01:57 PM

May 2012

Why do we give more dignity to our beloved pets at the end of their lives than we do our human loved ones? If we allowed the dog or cat to suffer for days, weeks, months and years we would be thought of as cruel, but grandma we are murderers if we want to end the suffering.
I guess it should be a gun stat, but my question is why do we not allow a better way so that it doesn't need to be?

What is odd is the same people who demand we murder people in the name of justice, are the same ones who demand every zygote formed becomes a living person which must live to a "natural" end, yet want to erode/eliminate any social safety net. (sorry a little off topic)
