Because politics and lawmakers are not rational. And apparently, logic and reason is not why we choose them.
Religious leaders butthurt over doctor assisted suicide

Morals are absolute, eternal, and divinely instituted.. as is good and evil. The moral relativism of our age is a fabrication, it is based on pure sophistry. It is a product of Atheism. You can never reconcile Theism with Atheism... they are logically contradictory. Our society has chosen atheism, in radical dissension from its founding credo and civilizing impetus.. and it will reap a bleak harvest for that. Moral relativism itself is a product of a society in a deep and fragmenting crisis that has lost all sense of a moral superstructure.
As to your comments on suicide being legal that is correct. But Aiding and Abetting a suicide has always been illegal up to now. What we are doing here is instituting State euthenasia.. which is not suicide. It implicates the medical establishment in a act that they are Oath Bound not to resort to (Hypocratic Oath - do no harm).. and set up an irreconcilable set of contradictions in its mission.. which will have devastating effects on our society. We are seeing that manifest in the Netherlands and Belgium now.

No worries, although you did have me wondering if you had skipped your meds today.
A system based upon evil? Waitaminit! Who allowed evil to sprout and grow in the first place? Who allows evilness to continue?
Really? So allowing some poor kid with no hope for survival to suffer a nasty disease all the way to the end is merciful. A crime against humanity? What about humanities' crime against the individual? Keeping someone alive at any cost is not exactly merciful sometimes.
And rule by religious cult is better? YAY FOR INQUISITIONS! YAY SHARIA!
I've often asked, If people of a certain faith donate 10% of their earnings ( tithe), to their church. Consider that if they faithfully tithe for say, just 20 years. Maybe they make 50k a year. That's 100k they will have donated to their church in that period of time. Then why doesn't that particular church, help them with their funeral expenses. Why?,,because it doesn't work that way. There's other expenses that take priority. Like the preachers Porche .
That is ok, Loc. It is only a topic. Maybe it keeps him from pissing off his SO or someone. We can handle it. =)
Slavery? Subjugation of women? Killing disrespectful children?
Not only moral, but mandatory.
I'm glad we live in these immoral times.
Many of the 613 laws of the Torah have been determined to be obsolete by Jewish Clergy. Would that also be considered moral relativism?
No, no and hell no! There is no such thing as god. Religion (all religions) is a man-made concept used to control the masses through fear. No different than the propaganda used to justify wars and hatred today. The sooner you understand you are being lied to and fed a fairy tale by men with no motive other than to control your thoughts, actions and get your money the sooner we can have an intelligent conversation.
Good and evil are based on perception and point of view.
Blah blah blah blah blah....Sounds just like a toilet flushing
I know, that's why I pointed it out.
No, what we are doing is extending the right to end one's own life past the point where they are no longer physically capable but still mentally able to make an informed and coherent choice. What you are doing is removing that choice and imposing your personal standard based solely on physical capability without any consideration of the harm it may do to the person or their family.
Keeping someone alive against their wishes causing them physical pain and mental anguish which inflicts severe emotional distress upon their family is DOING HARM! Most medical professionals recognize this. That is why most medical professionals support assisted suicide under a set of prescribed circumstances. It is the religious nutters and zealots who cannot see past their own delusional beliefs that oppose it.
What I see is you and other brain-dead 'believers' thinking they have some right to impose their will upon another human being based upon a manifesto composed of incredulous stories put forward by men seeking power and control.
Well, it is interesting how each and every cult has its own idea of morality and dogma yet not one can give any evidence why it is the ultimate authority on morality. So moral relativity can explain why that is. And moral relativity is considered evil by each because they cannot reconcile moralities amongst themselves. Lack of reason: it is why they have to rely on something as fickle and ethereal as faith.
How about you resolve ALL the contradictions in the bible and you get every other religion on board with your bible before you insist on the world abiding by that book...
My sister was fortunate to have the Hospice team direct others to do what was necessary to alleviate her suffering.
Do not be silly. hehe Lemon cake is best.
Also adherents to these cults rigidly sticking to the rhetoric and dogma of their cults.
My mother made the best pineapple upside down cake. That was my favorite
