I was just watching a program on CNN about Oregon’s Assisted Suicide Law.

They interviewed a fellow who is terminal and has plans to take drugs to kill himself when his end comes near.

The man’s argument is that he wants to die on his terms.

This is a terrible argument. None of us were born on our terms, we certainly don’t live on our terms (think about how often things go your way) and this fellow wants to die on his terms.

He plans on either dying because of his disease or dying by an over dose of drugs. Are those really his terms. Is that how he wants to die?

People who say they want to have the choice how to die are certainly not dying the way anyone would want to die. No one wants to die of a drug overdose and no one wants to die from a painful disease, so how is he dying on his terms?
 
To me, this really expresses how the euthanasia movement is a rejection of God and His will. Everything must be on our own terms, there is no place for trusting in God’s will - it all must be controlled by us.

When a person doesn’t believe in the existence of God, then there are no ‘moral’ reasons not to consider abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, or even suicide. The only restrictions are those imposed by government and can be changed depending to majority opinion.

Take God out of the equation and anything is permissable, I understand that’s what Darwin tried to do.
