No wonder Al Franken's worried.
Dr. Mostert has an excellent multimedia presentation here:

Useless eaters. Nicely describes most of the dumacrats.
I think Euthanesia where you specifically have authorized a professional to end your life humanely, and what the Nazis did to disabled people against their will is a red herring.
The arrogance of some people who think they know better than yourself in how you want to life or end your own life is disturbing.
Thanks. This article was a random google-find for me.
Frankly, I don't want you mucking up the works by tricking me about whether or not my doctor is a Killer Doc or one who adhere's to his creed as a helper.
It's been the experience of humanity over the ages that executioners can and do develop a thirst that extends beyond their initial targets.
What you guys need to do is demand the right to have access to the gurney in the federal prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. Or, simply take care of your personal problem NOW while you still can. Because of your beliefs, I promise you I won't care!
Oh, yes, take the trash out to the walk for weekly collection, and don't leave a mess all over the bathroom ceiling please. We'd like to be able to rent that place without a lot of expense.
So I guess they'd have been taking a pass on Stephen Hawking. They lost Einstein as it was. Nazism is such a practical philosophy.
These are the kind of condescending scum who will always stand aside in a battle between good and evil, between the innocent and those who would murder them, and declare their boredom and distaste for both sides.
I have read that the Plains Indian culture left the elderly behind to die, when they became too big of a burden, to bring along.
It was understood by all parties this was a simple completion of the circle of life.
It was NOT thought of that they were murdering the elderly.
I'm not taking sides, but merely pointing out an example whereby the elderly are allowed to pass on, as part of an understood cultural practice.
The naivete of some people who think family members always have a person's best interests at heart is also disturbing. I wonder how many people have been put to sleep before their time so that an inheritance would be distributed?

What case do you have in mind as an example of this?

Agreed. For example, that Michael Schiavo claims to know how Terri wants/wanted to live or end her life has been very disturbing all along.
Don't worry, no one will ever make the mistake of drawing said conclusion regarding yourself.
I'd make a distinction euthanasia and assisted suicide. The later is what you want to allow, and if you want to kill yourself that's OK by me. If you want help in your clearly expressed desire to die, that's OK too, so long as the medical pression isn't forced to help you.
But Euthanasia occurs precisely when the victim has not clearly expressed a desire to die, but someone want to kill them anyway. It's a form of homocide.
So, a depressed 17 year old comes up to you and expresses a desire to die. You'd help him. Right?
You ARE taking sides. If you want to argue for a position, that's OK, but them don't deny responsibility for your position in the same breath.
By the way, some African communities practice female genital mutiliation. That's an "understood cultural practice" too. Does that make it alright, morally?
I would recommend Charles Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle". There is a lengthy account of their encounter with the Fuegan Indians (near Cape Horn). They would catch, cook and eat granny when the fishing was poor. Of course granny would try to escape, but since she was old they could usually catch her and make her the dinner. I think that is why they called them "savages". This is a good word to certain perps in Florida right now. Beginning with the judges and mikey shiavo's lawyer.
