22. Absolutely Not. People Already Have the "Right" to Commit Suicide.

Edited on Tue Apr-07-09 08:50 PM by tonysam

Doctors are in the business of saving lives, not killing people. It is UNETHICAL for them to kill people. Period.

I know that's not a popular point of view, but most people haven't thought through this issue at all.

What is insidious about "right to die" is the fact this "right" winds up being forced on people who don't have a choice: the elderly, the sick, the disabled.

Screw "right-to-die." It's nothing more than "right-to-kill."

And no, I am not an antiabortion nutjob fundie Republican. :)
