Euthanasia

It's interesting that the movie shows the point of the person choosing to die instead of waiting for natural death, but nobody talks about Euthanasia.

Don't we have the right to die with dignity? Don't we have the right to choose?

Law points as crime killing other people and life as a basic right. But if I have the right of living, why can't I have the right to *choose* for it?

And why am I forced to suffer if I have an illness that's painful or degradating but isn't fatal, or takes a lot of time to kill?

Why can't I choose both to be treated and to die without pain?

And why, everything this is talked about on TV, they show people saying they suffer but they fight and wanna live? Let them live uai. Nobody is saying to kill them. They have the right to do whatever they want with their life, why can't we too?

Because other people feel free to shove their religious beliefs down your throat through getting their religious beliefs codified into law. At least here in the United States of America with its supposed non-establishment amendment and separation of church and state.

Christians in this country have always been able to get their Christian beliefs passed as law. (That they're slowly losing ground on that infuriates many of them.) Since suicide was against their religion, no one else could legally be allowed to do it, nor could a doctor help you do it...........even if it wasn't against your beliefs. Your beliefs don't matter............only their beliefs matter. And they had the numbers to get it passed as law.
