Again, you miss the point....if my dog asked me to end his life and I saw he was suffering, I would...and I would accept any and all consequences for my action. If a person asked me...I would have to make a PERSONAL decision, how could I (or even you) know what I (or you) would do? I am opposed to the concept and would never take my own life, nor would I be so demanding of another to ask them to do so, but if I was placed in that situation by someone else...well, then the decision would be mine alone to make....therein lies my point, it would be MY responsibility not the government's...and, if I did do what was requested of me, I would do so against my beliefs and with the expectation that I would pay the consequences! Life is about decisions and the consequences of making them...and Willie Parker broke his leg immediately after I picked him up and placed him in my lineup so I paid the price of losing 20 + points that week...exactly what I deserved!
