Why(?)
Owing to my own deep religious convictions in which I’ve been taught taking ones’ own life is a crime against God Almighty.
I do acede your point suicide is definately definative of severe, psychological disturbance.
If certain congressman and United States senators in our government seriously contemplate making assisted suicide, suicide in and of itself, and/or euthenasia legal in America;
1) Then please Mr. Policeman, don’t arrest me for using ’illegal drugs” in America, ruining my background for the rest of my life.
And if you do;
2) Please officer, don’t tell me because I use pot and cocaine I’m some kind of ‘felon.’
3) Oh, if you must arrest me, please don’t let that mean I cannot take out any guaranteed student loans for college from the U.S. government to better my life;
4) But most of all don’t tell me I am bad and you are: better, more powerful, smarter and a bigger person than I.
And if you are a Bloomingdale New Jersey cop: DON’T THREATEN TO STEAL MY MONEY SAYING YOU “CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ME BECAUSE YOU ARRESTED ME.”
Thanks-
If ’the state is the father’ as Parens Patre states in American law, and the state, Orgeon, in this case, does not care if I live or die,
PLEASE DON’T TRY SELLING ME THE SONG AND DANCE, ‘the STATE CARES HOW MANY BRAIN CELLS I BURN OUT using certain drugs.”
Let me put it another way.
If it is going to be legal in Orgeon the Hemlock Society (I’ve read their foundation’s material),
can legally offer drugs assisting persons’ in taking their own lives, and, the drug recipes thereof implicit for cooking up ones’ own suicide,
why ought cocaine and pot be illegal in Oregon then (?) I want to know lawmakers (please); this comment doubly applies to all you left leaning liberals considering the idea of instituting the idea into law in other states in America.
