Bonnie said:But the idea that a doctor can look at a patient and say I deem their quality of life is bad so let's save some money and bed space and kill them is absurd, and very uncivilized. What if there is someone who can't speak, seems in pain, but really doesn't want to die just yet? A doctor steps in does the deed........there are just too many what if's here and we are talking about human life , death is final at least on this earth.
That is one of my points, only people who have clearly made the choice could make the choice in any other time it would be wrong.
It would be morally wrong to have the Doctor deciding if and when people should die and it should be strictly written that way into any law that would allow the extension of such help to people in those circumstances.
If there is no evidence of the choice being made the Doctor would have to be put on trial for murder regardless of the closeness of death it would be wrong unless the person chose to effect their soul in such a way. Just as a Doctor today making such a judgement would also be tried for murder.
