"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThat's what I am beginning to suspect. I think one can secularly present euthanasia laws as bad social policy for the reasons stated above but that doesn't affect arguing against it in the abstract.
Different stages of life: pre-natal, infant, toddler, youth, adult, geriatric.
Levels of consent: No consent, 'end of life' plan, parent/guardian, power of attorney, 'right-mind' patient.
Methodology: Doctor-performed, doctor-assisted, patient alone.
I break it out this way because the arguments will vary. I don't know very many people that are willing to allow 'no consent', and power of attorney can be messy. It's a different question for terminal adults and geriatrics than it is for young children or infants born with severe problems.
Personally, I'm fine with it provided it can be shown the patient is terminal, in their right mind, and all reasonable treatments have been tried and failed. With parents/guardians of small children or infants, I think we should be prepared to provide financial assistance if we're going to force them to keep the kid. (I'm generally not in favor of terminating the kid except in some really extreme cases where "is this life" may not have an affirmative answer).I'm not here anymore.
