- Hospice programs have been doing this for years all across the country. Family members of the terminally ill are given the morphine and told to give as much as it takes to relieve the pain of the cancer victim. If the cancer victim wants more it is given to them often resulting in death.

You are nothing but a piece of human garbage to bring politics into a subject like this. I can only hope that you meet a long slow death.

- "It''s ironic that Christians, who preach compassion and tolerance, deny these very benefits to others.
Christ weeps at what has been wrought in His name."
There is nothing ironic in a Christian respect for life (even when suffering). It is the understanding that suffering is part of life, and that all life has value beyond the values that society espouses (monetary, happiness, freedom, etc.) What is ironic is that you speak for Christ, when you do not understand his teachings. Christ brought Lazarus back to life, but he did not make him immortal or free of pain. Lazarus would suffer more and eventually die again. According to your logic, he should have left him in the tomb. - Reply to this comment

- While I can readily agree with someone''s right to die with dignity (all of Dr Kevorkian%u2019s more publicized subjects were overachievers who made the rational decision to end their life on their terms%u2026all well and good.
What we must guard against is the RIGHT to die becoming the OBLIGATION to die%u2026as in an indigent patient taking a bed that could be occupied by a paying customer.
Who, in our fragmented, profit-above-all society can be trusted with such awesome responsibility? Certainly not any of the vermin in the Bush administration. They%u2019d pull a Florida-type confusing ballot scam on them and have selected victims unknowingly signing their lives away to maximize profits.
