"Dr. Death" is .....well.... seriously dead

Because that would go against some people's understanding of what their god wants, and those people -- who in many places are in the majority -- aren't content to conduct themselves in accord with their own beliefs and values; they consider it very important to enforce their chosen religious beliefs on everyone else under the guise of "morality". :roll:

X2 DAN!!! first off Dr. Assisted suicide has been going on for years & years via prescriptions and thru the use of different medications that the patient is TOLD should not be taken together or with alcohol. the ONLY diff between them and Dr K was he just came right out and said it!!

ANYONE and I mean ANYONE who has watched a loved one suffer in agony with no possible chance of reversing the condition, cannot say without reservation that if THEY were in the same circumstance, that THEY would not want to be helped to just END the suffering. I have seen it in battle when some one steps on a mine and blows most of their body away....they are in absolute agony screaming bloody murder and they are DEEP into being in SHOCK...that kind of pain gets thru virtually anything!! I have seen their comrades put a round in their heads to stop the torture! I am religious I believe in God and I condoned and supported what I witnessed without so much as a shadow of doubt that MY Lord would not want ANYONE to endure that level of suffering. The "offer it up" stuff is for when you break a leg and have a possibility of HEALING.... screaming in agony for months and allowing that to continue is inhumane....if this situation is NOT a place that you have ever personally experienced, then you have no say.
I do not condone suicide because you lost your women or you lost all your money or you just feel like it all isnt worth it anymore..... THAT is MY INTERPRETATION of what is communicated in the bible RE: suicide.....but if your health has deteriorated to a point where you are in constant agony with no hope of healing back to a NON agony condition....that is a horse of a much different color!!! you have to remember BOOKS were written by PEOPLE from their interpretation of what they were told by God or told by pther people that God said...the bible and all the religious teachings NOT ONE letter was hand written by Jesus OR God OR Buddah or Allah or any deity it was ALL written by MAN as interpreted BY MAN, save the ten commandments! SOrry for the rant BUT I HAVE seen people in agony, I have seen loved ones endure insane levels of pain for months on end and I cannot help thinking there is seriously something INCORRECT about a GOD that condones that level of suffering and teaches that we should all want to live no matter what!!!! A merciful God would NEVER MAKE SUCH AN INSIDIOUS DIRECTIVE....diametrically opposed to being a merciful God...makes NO sense!!!
NOT interested in DEBATE or attempts to convert I am satisfied where I am and with what I think....just sayin
