MM,

you and I and millions of others still don't understand why the people with the power to make these decisions have decided to err on the side of death.

Ever notice that states and countries that get more highly involved in medicine - to the point of managing it - start pushing these issues? Oregon and Holland come to mind. Heck they just had a case in the UK where they had a 3rd trimester partial birth abortion to avoid the horrors of a cleft-palate! (its illegal to abort 'normal' babies at that stage in the UK). Heck those @#&! right-to-life types make a big deal out of the few cases that slip through the cracks in Holland and people are Euthanized against their will.

If we cared for these people, we would understand that they do not want to be a burden. By allowing them to die peacefully through various means (like dehydration), we could reduce health care costs and more appropriately spend money on lives we feel are important!
