I like the way you clipped poem, let's put it back into it's context: http://www.ethicsandmedicine.com/17/2/17-2-exitramp.htm .... Kevorkian and Humphrey claim, That aiding suicide is kind. It eases economic drain And puts the sick outside our mind. If suicide is good, they say, For present suffering's relief, Then why not offer it today To those anticipating grief? And if a noble benefit Is gained by choking respiration Then why withhold from those unfit To voice their fatal last petition? Such killing fast degenerates, Despite concern for patients' best, Into a plot that terminates Without explicit prerequest. And exercise of "right to die," If done with regularity, Would drive the expectation high That suicide is one's duty. The notion of a right to die In reason finds approval nil, >From such a harsh judicial lie Would obligate doctors to kill. Authority once granted makes The next step that much easier still. Removal of restrictions takes Us further down a murderous hill. As ethical constraints give way, Down go the lowly euthanists. Headlong they plunge, their morals stray Into a bleak, black, deep abyss � Yet they insist � that up the slope Of progress marches suicide Unleashed. Through fallacy's false hope And pride they claim compassion's side. Here, too, the opposite is true; "Compassion" means "to suffer with," And not abandon patients to Asphyxiation, harm, or death. .... On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:29:20 -0500, Larry C.
