The problem of finding an impartial judge is inherent in the issue. Can any judge be impartial on this issue or on any issue where personal preference or individual circumstance defines what is right in juxtaposition with cultural mores?

Attempts to regulate personal behavior on moral or religious grounds through sumptuary law with respect to religion, sexual preference, euthanasia, right to life, gambling, drugs and alcohol etc in general miss the target. Even more it results in oppression of certain sections of society, usually the poor and working class. The target should not be attempts to bring the masses under control of the social order but to correct injustice. Criminal laws should target the harm done rather than offense perceived.

These issues should never have been allowed into the litigious network of society but there is where they are and we'd probably need a constitutional convention to change that fact.
