Women's sacrifices, taken to the extreme (Euthanasia)

And the mere availability of assisted suicide as a medical option, Finucane said, would "poison every single conversation a doc has."

Besides, he said, suicidal thoughts are a function of depression. That means you treat the depression. You don't write a script for a deadly cocktail.

"In both genders, there is strong evidence to suggest that if you are considering suicide, you have major depression, and that's true even if you have advanced cancer."

However, the culture of death sees euthanasia as a "duty".

Male suicide rates are higher. I don’t think that ‘encouragement’ would change the tendency.

What the hell is wrong with you?

[JimSEA]

I would anticipate that the rationing of health care in favor of “worthy” elderly patients will accompany euthanasia. No care beyond pain pills for smokers who get cancers, no care for elderly overweight diabetics, and so forth.

The culture of death is sick.

I’ve worked with plenty of old people who could use a good dose of euthanasia. I don’t think it should be mandatory but I think it should be an option after you reach a certain age. Most of the strain developed economies are facing is from too many seniors.

Sure, I mean look at how well has worked out other times it's been tried./sarcasm off

Hey from what I’ve seen I think I’d welcome euthanaisa if I got older 60 ... the last thing I want to be doing is eating stale mashed potatos from meals on wheels and waiting for my grandchildren to remember me. Death would be preferable.

Yeah, you're pro-death, we figured that out already. Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum, that's probably why your previous post was removed.

Here is a statement on the subject from Jim Robinson in case you were confused about what conservatives stand for:

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE

[ari-freedom]

you are 20 so have plenty of time to learn how valuable even one second of extra life

This will be my last post on the subject. I’m very pro-life when it comes to children and those who can’t protect themselves. However if a rational adult makes a decesion to die, then its their own bussiness, not the bussiness of the state or anyone else except them and god.

I have known a number of elderly who would probably sign up, both men and women. Certain circumstances can generate a very rational argument for it. The strongest major safeguard generally is religious faith.

That's commendable, but one either believes in the sanctity of all innocent life or they don't.

Tell me what you think when you get a bit closer than 20.

I don’t care how old I get, the grim reaper is gonna have to pry each finger from the rail to get me.

The vanguard of the baby boom generation has just reached their early sixties. Over the course of the next twenty years, as the majority of that cohort reaches genuine "old age" with all its infirmities, they will demand and get legalized, physician assisted suicide . . . and will exerise their right to an "early check-out."

Baby boomers have driven every other social and cultural trend of the last fifties years. This will be no exception.
