CB...I too have made that observation...and it is indeed an eye-opener. Some of those very same people are the ones out with Save the Whales, the Spotted Owl, and etc....Plus the ones that go to help the helpless in other lands.
I don't know that I'd call them the "right to die" folks, but rather the "right to kill" folks. I believe in someone's right to die, if that is truly what THEY want to do, and have written it, had it notarized, and told all their family of their wish. I believe in my own right to die, if that is in fact, my own wish, and WRITTEN down and my own normal signature used, not a forged one.
Where I have trouble with this concept, is a so-called guardian, who hasn't shown a real concern for a person for many years, and who has NOT a single speck of her wishes in WRITING. Instead, he has gone on with his life, has a commonlaw wife, or livein lover, or whatever she is called, plus two children with that person.
He has not given custody over to her parents.
I believe it is a VERY slippery slope we are on when we, as a society, start determining for others when they are to die, unless they are convicted of a crime, and sentenced to death.
One of the most interesting things that I have observed this week is all the proclamations from the "right to die" crowd who bitch about how useless "these people" are, and how much of a waste of resources they are. |
