Suicide in California = a good start......

Another thing, why does anybody need help committing suicide? It's been done since time began. If someone really wants out they don't need a doctor or nurse's help.

When I get back later I will. It was the state of Oregon's own stuff- from the pro-euthansia side. It was found to happen in the Netherlands too.

In California, it's damn near impossible to be both right and effective. At least it is on the state-wide level...

Arnold seems to be following in the footsteps of another famous Austrian leader on life issues. I'm amazed he doesn't see the parallel. Actually, it disturbs me a great deal.

[TheDon]

I have to agree. It is quite disturbing.

Thanks nickcarraway ~ I live in Oregon and haven't heard any horror stories about doc assisted suicide.

This is a slippery slope that people are beginning to ride down. Where and when will it end? Next the government will extend measures like these to infants, or the disabled. Bills like this will just snowball.

I was telling my friends the same thing about Prop 71. If it was such an ingenious bill then why didnt private corporations foot the bill instead of the taxpayer??? Because the research probably wont work and 3 billion dollars that could have gone somewhere useful just got pissed away.

The state assembly is passing bills like crazy, while not fixing the deficit problem and doing nothing useful for the state.

When i read articles telling me about how the assembly is trying to pass a bill telling some chef that he cant fatten gesse for his busieness i wonder what the hell am i paying taxes for ? im just outraged.

How much longer are we going to be silent???

The state assembly and the democrats here need to be taught a lesson. They need to be taught that by doing a lot more harm than good in the Golden State then they will be punished.

Conservatives in California need to speak up! Im tired of moaning about the state government here. Instead, Im tentatively plotting to run and try to unseat one of the lefties here in my district either assemblywoman Gloria Negrete or Senator Nell Soto. I think that im going to have to take a radical approach to a problem like this because something needs to be done.

Euthanasia

Often disguised by the name "mercy killing," euthanasia also is a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person.

In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).

EV John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life)
