Any proposed laws surrounding assisted suicide that I have seen would preclude anyone with untreated depression or mental problems from choosing it.
She is paralyzed from the neck down, tethered to breathing and feeding tubes — but Manhattan bank manager Grace Sung Eun Lee still managed to mouth four words Wednesday.
“I want to die.”
Doctors are trying to honor Lee’s wish, but her devout parents believe that removing the tubes is suicide — a sin that would condemn the 28-year-old to hell.
They’ve gone to court to keep the terminally ill brain-cancer patient on life support, turning a heartbreaking family tragedy into a right-to-die legal battle
My grandmother got a voting card for my grandfather in the 1997 election. Thing is he died in 1993. She corrected them though.
... thanks for the comment ...
... i've been sued twice in the same courthouse where this right-to-die petition is being heard by my dad -- AFTER HE DIED!!! this corrupt courhouse is the last place you want any important legislative decisions to be made ...
... how about someone petitioning the crown for the right to allow phony lawsuits with dead petitioners to die!
I wouldn't brag about being sued by your father's estate, it certainly makes you look bad.
... nope, in at least two instances the petitioner named in the motions against me that were heard and endorsed by the supreme court of british columbia was my deceased dad, not his estate ...
... the judge in the matter was a corrupt old buffoon by the name of justice grant d. burnyeat ...
I read all about it.
... you did read all about? then you know i speak the truth, tenpenny ...
... sorry i have to be the one to let you know that your government is inept and corrupt ...
... the motions in the supreme court of british columbia in which my dead dad was named were brought by two lawyers named robert w. taylor and jordan j. kinghorn of the vancouver law firm taylor veinotte sullivan ...
... yes, the bc government does allow lawyers to name dead people in their petitions and it should not be allowed ...
And just look at all the wonderful things "progress" has given us so far. God's been kicked out of the public schools
Yes, that's progress, I agree.
Kids saying the Lords Prayer every morning was ridiculous.
Because not everyone in school is Christian. How's that for a start. Because we have laws about the separation of church & state. That's another good reason. You need anymore?
Because not everyone in school is Christian.
I don't think either of those two fly. Perhaps you can link me to the laws dictating the separation of church and state? Doubt if you'll find one.
So you think the Christian kids should be denied the right or desire to recite the Lord's Prayer?
They can say the prayer all they want at home or in church or even on the playground if they like. The school (ie state) just cannot sponsor it. How hard is that to understand. Maybe you're JW and believe all should be indoctrinated into your god's fold. Point is public school is paid for by tax dollars and is very multi-theological these days. Catering to one religion over all the others is not a good policy for avoiding lawsuits.

Wrong again Nick, I was confirmed in the Anglican Church about 55 years ago and to be honest I haven't been active for over 50 years. I don't see how the Lord's Prayer can offend anyone as it's not limited to Christianity, just being thankful for the food we have and forgiving our enemies. This country was mainly settled by Christians and I don't think their desires should be curtailed. We welcome all faiths here and don't try to curtail there desires and beliefs. While I personally have no problem with whatever anyone wants to believe I do have a problem with those who try to curtail other's beliefs. If Christianity is so abhorrent to immigrants, just remember no one forced them to come here.
It is not about curtailing Christianity. It is about not having Christianity forced on those that are not Christian or just not interested. Nobody is saying you cannot believe in your god or your church's teachings. You just can't make everyone in a school pray to him/her/it. Once there is an official state sponsored religion you have a theocracy, not a democracy.
In the 12 years I was in school I never once saw any child "forced" to recite the Lord's Prayer, but you know there's a smart way around this, recite the Lord's Prayer on Monday, the Sikh's Prayer on Tuesday, the Jew's Prayer on Wednesday and so on. It's impossible to separate God from State, for those who believe in God he is in every aspect of their lives and for those who don't it doesn't matter!
