Passing peacefully in their sleep! Are you kidding? The only way the
terminally ill die peacefully in their sleep is if they are given an
overdose of soemthing.

These people die in total agony. And as their pain and the drugs given
them to numb the pain start to affect their minds, they are assumed to
be no longer in control of their facilities.

And so they die in agony, with their memory failing them and with their
bodily functions out of their control. But deep inside, they know what
is happening to them and they are refused the same solice we provide the
family pet.

Why is that whenever the term euthanasia is mentioned, people get
flashbacks of LOGAN'S RUN!!

If christ wanted us to learn anything, it was compassion. And every
year, we hang him again and again, and totally forget the message.

God loved his son, but he let him go. Why is it so hard for us to do the
same thing?
