Your scenarios really don't mean anything. It should be a persons choice. NO ONE elses!!

If a person has less then 6 months to live, is competent to make the decision, and feels that dying in pain and helpless in a bed is NOT the way they want to go, WHO ARE YOU to tell them they are wrong? It is NONE of yours or anyone elses business!!

The state of Oregon voters passed the law, and now you "conservatives", lovers of individual and states rights want a federal agency to stop it.

hypocrites, you are all hypocrites!!! Conservatives my eye!!

Sorry about that, but if you are going to call yourself a conservative, at least be consistent....

The state voted it in, NO WHERE is it unconstitutional, the feds need to mind their own business. If you personally do not like it, then do not move here, visit here or buy anything from Oregon, pretty simple if you ask me!!

You are absolutely right. It is not any of my business if someone wants to commit suicide, although I think the compassionate thing to do is to treat their depression and help them with their pain problems so that they can live out their last days in relative comfort.

That being said, I also don't think that it is in the best interests of society to license doctors to kill people. If people want to commit suicide, they can do it on their own.

Wow. A very passionate rebuttal, on your post #25. I'm going back and forth so much here, my head feels like I am watching a world cup tennis match on this thread. Your serve.

I am glad I found this site. If for no other reason, it has taught me that Republicans are just Socialists posing as Conservatives, while Democrats are Socialists posing as Liberals.

They are so much alike, it is scary!
