I'm not even in favor of assisted suicide. Although I am pro-choise for practical reasons, I am otherwise adamantly behind the "sanctity of life": anti-death penalty, anti-assisted suicide, anti-suicide. I don't think it's okay for you to kill me just because I say it's okay. What if I am insane? In fact, that's pretty much a definition of insane. I have no problem with government intervening to prevent such things - or at least to officially prohibit them. 38646@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 Jan 2004 13:32:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/22/122544.php#comment-38641 Why is murder/suicide wrong between consenting adults? Surely there are enough non-consensual suicides to keep the murder investigators busy enough? 38641@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 Jan 2004 12:51:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/22/122544.php#comment-38637 From a legal standpoint, I don't care all that much about people eating other people WHO ARE ALREADY DEAD, who had agreed to be eaten. But otherwise it's a murder/suicide: how can we condone that under any circumstances? 38637@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 Jan 2004 12:33:22 EST
