Suicide is my business

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it will hear a challenge to the nation's only assisted suicide law, taking up a case embracing the Bush administration's appeal to stop doctors from helping terminally ill patients die more quickly.

Oregon's voters are being told by the Bush administration that they can't have their democratic way. They will have to stop allowing humane suicide by terminally ill, but fully sane patients. This was enabled by a law that was voted twice favorably by the majority of Oregon voters. (But then we know what a majority vote means to President Bush, don't we?)

It was bad enough when Dr. Kevorkian was put in Prison essentially for the rest of his life for being a hero to those who suffered long enough with severe pain from a terminal illness, but now, Bush wants to override the legitimate rights of people so far from Washington DC that he has no clue as to their needs.

I saw my mom and my dad die of cancer. They both pleaded to let them go peacefully. We risked spending the rest of our own lives in jail to accomodate them because of our laws. Let's quit this nonsense. Looking at it purely from an economic viewpoint, it costs a lot of this nation's financial resources to keep people alive against their own will. Can't Bush understand that part?

Sigh! Have a nice day and hope that you get run over by a semi-truck when time comes.
