The pro-euthanasia side gains lot of support simply from labeling their opponents as religiously motivated. <br /><br />In that manner they get around it too easily. There are strong secular arguments for protecting each other from being killed in the name of mercy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542249548005227324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-33101209711007418832017-04-19T22:37:53.215-04:002017-04-19T22:37:53.215-04:00I suffer from mental illness.I do not someone to p...I suffer from mental illness.I do not someone to put an end to my life.I have my ups and downs but I fight every day to stay alive.Life is not meant to be perfect and we all have our weaknesses and strengths.

When people get sick or older, the question arises of whether life is worth living at all. Unless we address the question of the worth of life, more and more people will want to die. The question is - ultimately - religious. The human race presently seems to be moving more and more to choosing death rather than life - choosing non-existence in place of dealing with the question of the worth of existence. This is truly diabolic.

When we think of it, we do know people who are struggling with mental health issues. Is the solution to offer our co-worker or family member assisted suicide? Or is it to journey with them in their suffering, even though it might require a greater love and strength than we thought we ever could possess? <br /><br />There must be a real and open debate to bring forth creative, life-affirming solutions for those who are vulnerable. To let them know that they are not a burden, but they are still valuable human beings who deserve the finest care and consideration their family and other caregivers can offer.

A court would have the right to decide that a mental disorder was "terminal." We are on the verge of mandating suicide for anorexia.
