The lack of value on human life still surprises me....I know, I shouldn't be surprised. Teaching this belief to young people just makes abo.tion and .urder easier to justify. How about an emphasis on comfort for the dying? Just an idea!
Pro-lifers predicted all along that abortion would devalue ALL human life.
Field day for organ traffickers. The space between the first tranquilizing shot and the one that ends a life, opportunists will find a way. You can count on it.
Every corner of existence is full of predators.
Absolutely right.
Why is this bothering so many people here?
I'm sorry, but if I had a terminal illness and knew (or at least would be under the medically qualified impression) that I only had a certain amount of time left, I'm takong it.
I've seen what a few different cancers does to a person when they're terminal. I've also seen what end stage Alzheimer's and Dementia does to a person at the end. It's suffering on a level that no one here can fully comprehend. It's a level of suffering that no one here should be forced to endure, either.
I'm a Christian. I pray, I try my best to live my life according to Christ, but I have a hard time believing even Christ would want someone to suffer in that manner, because Je knew thst none of us are Him. We have limits to our spiritual power, He didn't. He could heal the unhealable, as he showed numerous times.
If you are right with Him, then leaving the his life on your own terms isn't going to be an issue for you in that next life. It just isn't. This is one of the issues I have with organized religion. They teach things that have been added to His Word by fallible men. There are things in the Bible that just don't follow the teachings of Jesus, and I believe the sanction against suicide is one of them. At least, suicide in the way we're talking about here.
No one on this Earth has any right to tell another person what they can or cannot do with their own body. Abortion for abortion's sake should not be allowed. Keeping someone alive when they are dying in a horrible way is tantamount to torture and should not be allowed. In fact, it should be illegal to force a terminally ill person to stay alive if they don't want to.
It isn't a lack of value of the human life. If anything it's the opposite. They value their life so much that they don't want to suffer any longer, so they shouldn't be forced to suffer a horrible end.
Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, (Now they use morphine in Hospice.)
Aside from the morality question, it bothers people (who've been around long enough/have seen enough of how things happen) because they know that it's a slippery slope: first you can decide, then your family can decide, then "medical professionals" can decide, then it "somehow" becomes "policy". (Ex. an acquaintance in The Netherlands has said that, if there's a shortage of hospital beds, they are given to younger patients rather than older patients alledgedly because they have more life to live [are more valuable]. From there, it'll only be a short step for them to, "Who should be unalived/die [because they're not "worth the time/effort/resources"]?)
I've never understood this. If you want out, go your own way. It's not healthy for society to think it's normal.
I would hate to be them when they reach the pearly gates. Can you imagine the conversation between St. Peter and everyone who allowed this happen?
Could be hell will be overflowing soon. 👿
13th state? I didn't realize it was legal in the US at all.
As of February 2026, medical aid in dying (MAID), often referred to as assisted suicide, is legal in 12 U.S. jurisdictions:
Oregon Washington California Colorado Hawaii Vermont New Jersey New Mexico Maine Delaware Illinois (legalized in 2025) District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) Additionally, Montana allows MAID through a 2009 court ruling (Baxter v. Montana), though it lacks a specific state law.
These laws typically require:
A terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less to live. The patient must be mentally competent and able to make and communicate health care decisions. Two physician approvals and, in most states, a written request and waiting period. The patient must self-administer the lethal medication. The practice remains illegal in most states, including Ohio, and is a subject of ongoing legislative debate in several others.

Thank you!
These people are psychologically pressured by the docs who get paid for these "services" like abortion "providers" pressure vulnerable women and docs pressure for trans meds and surgeries.
Not to mention their evil ideological intentions . . .
Like Canada, if you're depressed you can let them suicide you.
If you are depressed, your mind is in a state distorted by the depression, NOT in a condition to make informed consent for suicide, assisted or not.
Indeed, there are suicide hot lines to help people understand their worth and value!!
Totally fkd up...
But all seriousness aside ...
Is Canada going to make the machines? Because they had a serious problem where the person was all ready to check out & the machine didn't work...
"Hello tech support....Sir, calm down, is it plugged in?"
Divine intervention?
There was another case where the woman changed her mind, but they did it any way. You didn't hear from me, but there some rumors about organ donations.
when the hell did we become Canada!??
