| well if they want to die they should do it without adversely affecting others imo...sounds cold but death is the last step. if you are on death's door and in pain i say do what is going to be best but being sad is not a good reason to die. |

when you die from..let's say cancer, it affects others adversly as well.
if they want out, go then imo. It is sad when someone i know dies for sure, but at the end of the day it is part of life and the show must go on. |

| I think the decision rests solely with our almighty father in heaven. None of you have the right to usurp his ultimate authority on the matter. |

PKC, I read that and completely agreed with it, and only a few seconds later realized you were being sarcastic.
I think a lot of people might agree with this sentiment, substituting "the almighty Father" with whatever force they believe to be the ultimate power in the universe (i.e. fate, nature, a holy spirit, etc.) |

Yeah, and if they kept their mouth shut and followed their ideals for themselves, everyone would be happy. But they’ll use any tool at their disposal to force their beliefs onto other people, which is when the mighty atheist army shall rise and destroy the oppressive believers. |

I am also inclined to agree with this (save for the concluding clause which dances around some sort of science-fiction plot) because, for a lot of people, the "almighty power in the universe" is the individual's right to choose: the uniquely liberal pursuit of happiness, backed by all that wonderful stuff that those enlightened despots and philosophes advocated. |

| I believe Voltaire stayed in some kind of castle, although he did have some weird things to say about ice cream. |

Are you implying that this is not the best of all possible worlds!? |
