Minute: "Right to Die"
from Life Matters
Is there a right to die? If there is, then I will live forever because I refuse to exercise my right! The phrase, "right to die" is used to imply that everyone should be free to determine their own death. This desire is from the fear of a painful or difficult death. But the resources are there to deal with even the most difficult of pain. If you or a loved one are in pain the answer is not "kill the patient," but instead get another doctor! The phrase, "right to die" is actually very deceitful, as it is used to promote something quite different. It is not about letting people die a natural death - that is already quite legal. No, this phrase is used to sell a completely different verb and action. It's used to justify killing a patient whom someone feels "should be dead" and therefore, "we're going to make that happen". It is a phrase used to get you to accept the killing of ill and medically dependent individuals.
