Question by MrSandman: Are doctors who favour “non selection treatment” or passive euthanasia acting selfishly?
This question is for supporters of euthansia!

Some doctors feel quite strongly in their resolve that passive euthansia is more humane than active euthansia.

Why? If the decision has already been taken that death is in the best interest of the patient, is it not more humane to the patient to ensure that death is quick and their suffering is kept to absolute minimum?

In the case of babies with severe spina bifida, passive euthanasia, as I understand it, involves stopping all forms of treatment such as drugs which can drag the process of dying for weeks on end thereby prolonging the agony of both the child and the parents.

By doing this do you think that doctors are trying to morally protect themselves in way that remains consistent with their duties as a medical professional and their allegiance to the hypocratic oath by indirectly having a hand in the death of another human being?
The laws in different countries vary greatly on the subject of euthansia but I’m not interested in the legal aspect.

Passive euthanasia doesn`t ease the pain of dying or hasten it ,
The passive approach is actually cruel .
If I am in pain and terminal I want Sodium Pentathol and then the euthanasia ,
Its like general anesthesia only permanent .

Question by Phil A: Whatever Happened To “The War On Drugs?” Is it over? Are we ever going to win? Who is the real winner?
Are alcohol companies, lobbyists and congressman the real winners in “The War On Drugs?” Or are the real winners the criminals who make fortunes and the terrorists who use our own laws against us to fund their terror campaigns? Why is it none of the major Presidential candidates wants anything to do with “The War On Drugs?” Can the United States really ever win this war, or are we so obviously losing, that we need to legalize drugs and tax them to fund treatment and schools, and keep the money away from Terrorists and Criminals?
