Massachusetts Vote May Change How the Nation Dies

Quote:
This Election Day, Massachusetts is poised to approve the Death With Dignity Act. “Death with dignity” is a modernized, sanitized, politically palatable term that replaces the now-antiquated expression “physician-assisted suicide.” Four polls conducted in the past couple of months have shown strong support for the ballot question, although a well-funded media blitz by the opposition is kicking in during the final several weeks and may influence voter opinions.


I support this initiative (but not from Massachusetts). I strongly believe that control over your own body is a fundamental right.

A person has the right to exit this world as they see fit. If a persones quality of life is to the point of living in example,pain. Then they should be given a choice by thier own free will.

This brings about the problem of life insurance policys and how they would need to change.

Not so quickly.

Why is control over your own body when you are dying is more important over control over your own body after you got pregnant?

I never understood making suicide against the law. If you want to take your own life, that should be ok, the problem I have is when you want to take some one else's life.

obvsly because there is more than one life involved! why can a mother decide to kill her child one day, but not the next?

im not totally opposed to abortion, because people who want them will be shitty parents anyway. but this discussion will inevitably devolve into trimesters, viability, etc. and then it becomes as dumb as the drinking age or any other law that attempts to correlate the motion of heavenly bodies with social behavior.

This is a valid question. Why arbitrarily decide that moment of conception is when humanity starts? Life is cheap, you kill plenty when you sanitize your hands, it is what constitutes child is much more relevant question.

As to Death With Dignity - control of your body has to be uniform right. You should have the right to die, the right to undergo an abortion or even a right to do radical genetic or stem cell treatment on yourself.

I think the demarcation between clump of cells and baby human, is more of a religious/spiritual question than anything.

To the best of my knowledge science has not stepped up and provided a firm answer, regarding the large grey area between fertilization and birth.

Mostly thats why I wish the topic would just go away. There isnt a fixed answer, just a bunch of opinions based on spiritual notions.

If there was a fixed, provable answer I would happily support such a position.
