The Right to Kill

There is a case coming up before the Supreme Court which again brings the issue of euthanasia to the forefront of national discussion. (Why won't this issue die?!)

Step one is to clarify some terminology. The issue is often framed as the "right to die". I submit that is deceptive. Everyone has the right the die. It is a natural process that we will all be faced with at some point. There is no law that makes it illegal for anyone to die.

What people are actually advocating is not the "right to die", but rather the "right to kill".

We seldom have honest discussions about issues in this country. Honest discussion must start with calling something what it is. That will certainly not be happening in this case. Watch the media. They will try to deflect the issue and frame it as a right to die as a matter of course.

Remember, he who defines the terms wins the debate. Then ask yourself if the media is biased. Then remember, you have the right to kill the mainstream media and go somewhere honest for your news and opinion. Try WorldNetDaily.com.
