We are talking about ending ones own life with dignity.

The way you and your ilk see it, Adolf Hitler died with dignity, but Jesus Christ did not.

A dignified person will die with dignity no matter how undignified they appear in the end, an undignified person will not. Dignity is what we bring to death, not what death brings to us.

Should adultery be subject to capital punishment?

Try to stay on topic.

Why do you keep bringing up Hitler? That has nothing to do with the conversation except your attempt to falsely associate me with him.

It is between God and the person when to decide to end one's life. It should not be subject to government control or your personal views.

You: There is a huge difference between capital punishment and taking an innocent life, but I’m guessing that you are incapable of understanding it.

Me: Should adultery be subject to capital punishment?

You brought up capital punishment. I am just trying to understand.

I brought up a well-known suicide. I have not tried to associate you with Hitler.

YOU are the one trying to get governments to legalize euthanasia.

I am trying to get government out of my life. You are trying to use government to control my life. Thank you.

Christ shed His Blood in atonement for the sins of the Old Testament.

The record speaks otherwise:

"The way you and your ilk see it, Adolf Hitler died with dignity, but Jesus Christ did not."

There are endless medical problems that hurt so much that many people wish they would just die, or are just willing to die. But when the pain finally stops, their life goes on as it should.

Unless their was an “angel of death” handy.

Nonsense, you are trying to force employees of the government to participate in suicide.

I have never said that. I am trying to ensure that government employees do NOT participate in my suicide.

Correct, you think that suicide (i.e. death on your own terms and not God’s) is dignified, that doesn’t equate you with Hitler.

No. And I beg to disagree with you that it is death NOT on God's terms. When I chose to die is between me and God and neither you nor the government should interfere.

The fact that you mistake moral relativism with God’s Will is certainly your choice.

Thank you for at least saying it is my choice. Now, will you admit that it should my choice and not the governments choice on when and how I die?

If not, then the following conclusion is reached. Bye for now.

ME: Keep the government out of my private life.

YOU: You want to government controlling my life.

The government is not preventing you or anyone else from dying (except of course those who are incarcerated), pro-euthanasia laws are designed to get the government to condone and participate in suicide.

Nice Strawman

I find this kind of legislation creepy as hell,but I also think medical progress/technology has gotten to the point where it's no longer treament but torture in some cases
