Jan! That would threaten the very nature of reality! :-)

Seriously, we were never discussing "letting nature take its course." 
The subject was passive euthanasia, i.e. an act or omission intended 
to hasten death indirectly.

I deleted all the semantic quibbling because you seemed to concede
not only that the term has meaning, but that some on both sides of 
the aisle see a moral equivalence between 'passive' and 'active' acts
even though you do not.

Also because I'm waiting for you to respond to my challenge to name
one anti-euthanasia organization which accepts that a patient has a 
right to refuse life-sustaining treatment without qualification. 
Care to give it a shot?
