Why would your god excuse one and not the other?

They are exactly the same.

People who are terminal don't want to die either, they only have 2 choices.

Do nothing and suffer the pain of a cancer {burning alive} or choose a less painful death {jumping}.

And how do you know this other than your misguided views ...

You can't compare one dying process to another. Good for this lady for not feeling the need to end her life; however, she should have the choice should she start having repeated violent seizures and things like that.

No one has the right to judge another person. The choice should be available and people who want to choose can and people who don't want to choose don't have to.

How do you know any different?

.....other than your misguided views?

I am quite sure you don't want to live your life according to my beliefs, where do you get the gall to think I should live my life according to yours?

Thanks for some refreshingly intelligent, compassionate views on this.

As you obviously well know, hundreds of doctors, nurses, aides, administrators, friends and relatives are there to help elderly parents.

My sister and I were there helping too, for many years, naturally.

What's with the babyish questions?

yea ... isn't that too bad, subjective morality is frowned upon except in the mind of either the lawless, godless and the self-centered.

By answering a question with a question....well know tactic for avoiding answering....you never did say why or how the two examples are different.
How or why are they different?

Yes, I do know.

Jumping off a building is killing yourself, whether you jump to escape the pain of burning to death or the pain of cancer.

Tell me how they are different.

Self-centered? Nothing more self-centered than the religious expecting everyone to believe as they do.

How do you know God doesn't blame people who choose to end their lives rather than dying a slow, excruciating death from cancer? God's own son was compassionate to the ill and to the suffering. Jesus didn't look at the leper and say "Deal with it!" and walk away. Is the father NOT compassionate?
