I do hope that if a lot of pain is involved I have a very caring nurse with a large dose of Morphine..

I thought pretty much the same things you wrote. I think it’s something we should be allowed to do. I know strong checks and balances would have to be in place. And I know it will be a huge fight against the religious to even talk about it. I agree that it wouldn’t be fair to allow those who are religious to shut down the discussion simply because they think it’s wrong, but I also am positive that they would shut down the discussion. I’m not sure it’s something I’m ready to spend time fighting over. Gay rights, politics, and abortion are much more important to me now. Besides, if you talk to the right people, they’ll tell you that if we would just legalize medical marijuana those terminally ill folks suffering in pain, mightn’t have to experience quite so much pain.
