Name calling and the like, in my opinion, have kept a lot of people from coming back after a few visits. I am interested in hearing commentary from all sides. That is becoming increasingly hard to do here.

As far as misrepresenting what happened, I don't recall anyone saying he was banned. It looked like to me he got tired of wading through the personal crap thrown at him.

I understand what you're saying............................................

But, it's soooooooo much fun.

Back to the purported topic of this thread: If there is any logical correlation between those countries that allow a person to choose when to end his or her suffering and those countries that provide universal health care it is this - those countries recognize a human dignity that goes beyond one's wealth. One should not have to endure the indignity of physical suffering because he or she cannot afford the cost of medical care. Similarly, one should not have to endure suffering when it becomes clear that, without merciful intervention, such suffering will continue through a long drawn out dying process.

Well I feel a lot better tonight. Thanks for the kind words from most...even Whell. I can get just as emotional as the next guy, and I would rather apologize to somebody for being an asshole than to hold my feelings all inside. I guess what really gets my goat is that there are people out there who are in love with the idea of letting "nature take it's course" for friends and family, even if it means misery and pain to the individual, yet at the same time they will go out to the back 40 and shoot their dog or horse to put it out of misery.

It may go back to the concept of suicide being a mortal sin for some Catholics and to the rigid teachings of Rome. Not that I agree with that at all but it was an insight my non practicing Catholic wife floated as I was talking with her about this thread. Maybe Whell is a devout Catholic?

He is a Catholic and, I think, devout.
