They allow people, like me, to express our views. But they are somewhat limiting in that they don't allow much flexibility for discussion of those views. The general concept of a blog is: it is my blog, and what I say is what the blog is about. If you don't agree, go read someone else's blog.That's fine as far as it goes, but except for limited 'Comment' capabilities you don't getEuthanasiaClinichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01322128415508921717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186314079639421574.post-16664452770218120292007-03-21T20:13:00.000-07:002007-03-23T06:21:58.136-07:00Constitutional Right to DieIn an opinion piece written by Ronald Sokol and published Mar 21, 2007 in the International Herald Tribune the constitutional right to die with dignity is advocated.Using the recent trial of the French doctor and nurse who administered poison to a 65 year old woman who was suffering a cruel, debilitating, and undignified death from pancreatic cancer as a springboard Mr Sokol argues that the rightEuthanasiaClinichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01322128415508921717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186314079639421574.post-91461735654578193062007-03-17T08:13:00.000-07:002007-03-17T08:44:41.838-07:00Euthanasia HateOver at a forum for people who live in Cambodia, care about Cambodia, or just want a place to vent, I have been vilified by one of the users because of my stand for Euthanasia.

I take this a bit further than most others in that I put no restraints on the reasons that a person may have for making this choice.That means that if a person wants to choose to end their own life because they see the state of the world as being beyond redemption, and their own place in it as being EuthanasiaClinichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01322128415508921717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186314079639421574.post-9472562389094523382007-02-20T05:55:00.000-08:002007-02-20T06:16:34.885-08:00Who's Going to Stop You?Imagine a person who rationally decides to end their life. Perhaps due to physical infirmity or pain. If they were chronically depresssed and lonely, one might argue that they shouldn't be allowed to take their own life;Take their own life? Who's to stop them?Jail them! Lock them in chains forever! Guess what?

I agree. There is no price that can be placed on a life, but there is also no value in a life that one no longer wishes to live.The value of a life is not something that someone else places on it, but is that which the one who is living it applies to it.
