Is there really a difference (besides the wording) of assisted suicide and suicide? Both are meant to end a person's life, and in both instances the person wants to die. Why are we sugarcoating it?

Does God not want us to suffer ever, or only if we have terminal illnesses? If never, then why cant a man just ask a doctor to give him an OD of a certain drug cause he is depressed?

I have absolutely no idea what God wants.

Are we sure that we are ending a person's sufffering?

If the person alive is in pain, and pain=suffering -- then yes.

Shiavo had already been dead for years.

IMO she was a vegetable, not capable of feeling at all. IIRC, the husband stood to benefit from her death. Was he not engaged to another woman at the time of the decision?

[/ QUOTE ]

Irrelavent. She was already dead.
