I saw this story on euthanasia today and wondered how soon doctors across America will have to kill the sick because they requested help dying. Washington State is going to allow "DIGNITY DEATHS."
Do you see the LANGUAGE? "DIGNITY DEATHS" Does that mean a person in terrible pain who feels, for whatever reason, that doing themselves in is not an option is not dying a "dignified death"?
It's sort of like a woman's "right to her own body" is the euphemism for "a woman killing her unborn child", isn't it. Sure SOUNDS great that a woman has a 'right to her own body', doesn't it? Sure it does. Very beguiling. But, with this euthanasia thing, why not call it the EUTHANASIA BILL? Scared to because it's too obvious and people might react badly to it?
And, imagine a doctor being told he MUST give someone a death cocktail? Imagine how dispirited a doctor might feel? Will we lose good men in the medical profession if more of America adopts this law?
Whatever you feel on the issue of Euthanasia (which I swear I thought was the Peace Corps in China until I actually saw it spelled!), the 'dignity deaths' phrase is such a typical liberal ploy.... WHO CAN ARGUE WITH THAT, right? Doesn't EVERYONE want DIGNITY?!!
Do you feel EUTHANASIA is a Left/Right issue, by the way? I'm truly curious.
