That does not mean someone else can kill you.

If you want to die,have the balls and do it yourself.
Stop being A pussoir and do your own dirty work.
Then why do we waste tax dollars having police try to rescue people who jump off a bridge? Or we waste money on suicide hotlines where suicidal types can be talked out of it?

And why are liberals so against guns when many suicidal types choose to off themselves with guns?

Greedy leftards.
Yes, not only do the liberals think about getting the insurance money, in very many cases they're eyeing up their inheritance money. If mom uses up that money in her illness, it will be gone. Better to kill her before the inheritance is touched.

I think he was a hypocrit and a murderer. He liked any excuse to kill other people -- makes you wonder if he got into pathology because he liked the autopsies and spending his time in the morgue.

Yet when he had plenty of reasons to hook himself up to his machine, he wouldn't do it.

We shouldn't,except for the issue of it not being their bridge,the family should be billed for the use.
Well the hotlines can be there IF paid for by others...
Let people be as stupid as they want to be.

Simple,that is all about control.It is harder to control armed people,one in one hundred might actually stand up to them.

He did not "like" to kill other people(and you can't prove he did), he did love to end unnecessary suffering when REQUESTED.



What were his "plenty of reasons" for using his machine?

He didn't know his illness would be terminal.


He wasn't facing months and years of excruciating pain.

What were his "plenty of reasons" for using his machine?

So you think it' s wasting tax dollars to save people from committing suicide ..yet when they CHOOSE to pay for it themselves with Kevorkians assistance you're against it...????
Are you confused??

BTW, I'm a liberal, I own guns, believe in owning guns, use guns, have friends who own and use guns on my property.....so, you're wrong again!

Euthanasia is only illegal on moral (mostly religious) grounds.
What does that law accomplish? It only prolongs needless suffering. Who benefits from that?
As a side note, one should not expect empathy or compassion from religious people.

Seems fair enough to me.

You want people to be able to kill themselves at will,I am agreeing with that part.You simply can't have others pulling the trigger is all.

Seems to me people are simply wanting to be divorced from the 'messy aspects' of offing yourself....like with almost everything in modern life.

Want to die?Grow a pair and off yourself.

I am all for anyone offing themselves anytime for any reason....as long as they do the deed themselves and don't puss out wanting someone else doing the dirty deed.

Grow some B.alls and do it,stop wanting others to do the dirty work.

The individual should be free to off themselves any way they see fit(as long as it doesn't infringe on others).

But no-one else can be actively involved in the offing.

If such a thing existed a person could probably figure out a nice way to off themselves.

Killing yourself is pretty easy,only a real loser could mess that up....

Those who are so wanting to kill themselves need to grow a pair and do it and stop wanting others to do the dirty work.

Other people can watch if they like,however they cannot participate in any active way.

Fair enough?
Why do you post the same thing over and over again when many posters have pointed out how that's not always possible???
