Oregon - Playing God. God Sad.

Sorry about the break in entries. Scholarly business had to be dealt with. High scholarly business.

Anyways, today marks a point in history (American, at least) where the unthinkable has occured. That's right - euthanasia is now legal in the once great state of Oregon. No, not actual youth in asia, which would form a paradox seeing as how legallized youth in Asia in a non-Asian state would make absolutely no sense. It's these kinds of thought processes that haunts me at night. Where was I? Right, euthanasia. The physician assisted suicide of patients is now legal in Oregon after the High Court (but not as high as my learningness) had a 6-3 vote in favour of the Death With Dignity Act. This means George Bush's interpretation of federal drug laws does not apply to Oregon. I feel for you, George.

So, this essentially means that any competent patient with a terminal illness can choose to legally terminate their shells of a life whenever they choose. And what say I? Let them. All they'll be doing if they aren't dead is drain the United States medical system of resources and manpower that could otherwise be delegated to keeping the more worthy in fighting condition, ready to survive the a ragtag world dictated upon social Darwinism. I mean, they're 'competent' and have a 'terminal illness.' If my English comprehension is correct, and I believe it very much so to be, these individuals are already screwed. Finite.

Now, I may sound like a heartless bastard, and have been accused on a daily basis as being one, but I am also one who appreciates living, no matter how viciously a disease is ravishing my well-being. No matter the emotional heartache I put those dearest to me through, watching me wither away, agony now the only concrete constant in my life. No matter the amounts of intestines I vacate through my rectum. Nay, I shall continue to live, because that's the way I am - a MAN. So let these pansies die, knowing that just because they asked a doctor to kill them doesn't let them off the suicide-hook. God knows better.

*NOTE* See that timestamp down there? Once again I beat Daily Show/Colbert Report to a story.
