I-1000 WTF

What dumbfucks voted for I-1000. Seriously. This is bullshit. This is what happens when you take liberal freethinking too far. I-1000, in case you DIDN'T research it before you voted on it, is the Initiative Measure that would allow patients with a terminal illness to inject a lethal dose into their body, and thereby ending their life on their terms, without suffering, with the approval of three doctors blah blah blah.

Okay. This is exactly what happens when you take something as important as human life, and transform it from a moral issue, to a political issue. Morally, there is absolutely no debate. AT ALL. If you are religious then God gave you life, one of the greatest gifts of all and any form of conscious decision to inject life-ending chemicals into your body is suicide. SUICIDE. Even if you're not religious that is horrible. Don't dress it up with fancy names like "death with dignity" because you have chosen to end your own life. Which is suicide. I refuse to believe that Washington has chosen to fund an initiative that is a result to a problem, not the solution, instead of spending money and effort on ways to actually cure people.

A political issue. People are so caught up in fighting for individual rights in every arena where freedom of choice can be possibly interjected, that this belligerent nonsense has affected how people view life: as nothing more than a political agenda. He should chose! On his terms! How to end his life! Okay! Emo kids! Hear that? You can end your suffering too. Because Washington has spoken and it's okay to end your life, as long as its own YOUR terms.

I realize that those who suffer from terminal illnesses, especially cancer, suffer greatly. They suffer at the hands of a disease which deals such devasting pain, it makes daily life unbearable. So I would ask people, honestly. Wouldn't you then want to invest money that goes to I-1000 into actually finding a cure so people don't have to suffer these diseases? Instead of just giving up hope and offering people an easy way out. I think from my own personal view, that people who fight their disease all the way to the end of their life, have lived with dignity and died with dignity. And I've also heard arguments that they don't want to financially burden their loved ones with their medical costs. That's bullshit. If they are truly your loved ones, they would do whatever they could to keep you alive, no matter what the costs.

Dying with dignity does not mean a thing. Choosing when and how you die does not mean you have died with dignity. Instead, choosing to defy death, all the way to the end, despite the odds, despite the overwhelming sense of hopelessness, you have chosen to live on and not just take an easy way out. And you have not given up hope.
