Because YOU believe suicide is wrong and so you don’t want anyone else to commit it so YOU want the laws to reflect your moral beliefs.
My moral beliefs on suicide are irrelevant. I am championing that people should decide for themselves. That is, they act on their own moral beliefs. Mine ought to play NO part whatsoever in anyone’s lives but my own.
Yes, I would like a legal system that allows for people to live according to as they see fit without hurting others. Something wrong with that?
I can see that you’re Christian. Oh boy. Here’s my question: you’re against suicide in general, so do you believe that the laws should outlaw euthanasia in general? You say “it’s not our business” but what about the person themselves?
You clearly believe in “god” and believe that “he has the right to choose when my life ends.” You have every right to believe that and not want suicide. But why should others be forced in follow in your footsteps? Is it because YOU believe in hell and you’re forcing them to be subject to laws for what YOU feel is their best interests? What about other religions? They just all have it wrong, don’t they, and NEED to follow YOUR morals, right?
This is exactly why I am thankful for the separation between church and state. You get these religious fanatics who believe that THEIR beliefs are law and must be followed by everyone. A real “my way or the highway” attitude. Scary stuff.
As for I? I don’t impose myself upon anyone. I just say “make up your own mind” about it. If you interpret someone telling you “make your own choice about it” as “forcing their own beliefs down your throat”, then I don’t know what to tell you. Unless your religious system is one where you aren’t supposed to make your own choices…oh…wait. ><
