The HORROR! The OUTRAGE! what a SEXIST! He must be afraid of his animal urges! Or he respects his marriage and his wife, but most importantly, maybe he recognizes our modern media by not putting himself in any potential compromising position as a pubic figure. Maybe the Clintons should take notes.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-37797911683725656242017-03-29T19:05:10.350-04:002017-03-29T19:05:10.350-04:00I'm against euthanasia.

Everyone should have dominion over their own bodies. My issue is when do we as humans go from "voluntary" to "mandatory" as in withholding treatments because of age as happens in those countries with gov't administered healthcare...like the Netherlands, for instance. And that is the deep, dark secret of "socialized medicine" in these countries - they will keep the old folks (over 55) comfortable, but withhold common treatments like bypass surgery because medical resources should be used for those under 55. See: Dr. Emanuel<br /><br />In the case of the woman with dementia, maybe it was justified. But what if what she had was heart failure and it was decided that she was just too old even though simple surgery could correct her issue?<br /><br />Anyway, as long as I can get my Goop detoxes, cleanses, and vitamin supplements from well-known bio-scientist Gwyneth Paltrow, I am sure I will be just fine...;-DBevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-85734304252554657752017-03-29T00:30:26.052-04:002017-03-29T00:30:26.052-04:00In terms of euthanasia, I'm in favor of it act...In terms of euthanasia, I'm in favor of it actually. I've seen a lot of suicide and I don't know if I understand the impulse or not. The whole thing is very sad and rather sickening to me. But at the same time, I get the strength of what they must be feeling and I respect their need to act on this. And I would rather that the state not butt into that decision and I would rather they didn't need to go do it in ways that might endanger or scar other people.<br /><br />That said, I do want some safeguards. I want to know that they haven't been pushed to do this by family members or things that can be changed rather easily.<br /><br />So to me, allowing this makes sense. It gives the doctors a chance to intervene to protect these people. It protects society from their alternative methods. And it lets people decide when they truly cannot go on.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-75142147400718423972017-03-29T00:23:03.984-04:002017-03-29T00:23:03.984-04:00Bev, I intend to be immortal.
