You might think it was rather odd that an auto mechanic instead of fixing cars helped to destroy them. You would notice the strange disconnect between a person dedicated to repairing cards instead helped to keep them from ever running again.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately we have a much worse disconnect with so-called Physician-Assisted Suicide.<\/p>\n

Montana legalizes euthanasia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I saw the headline I wondered how that could happen in a state like Montana. Then I slapped my forehead and emitted a “doh” – judges of course.<\/p>\n

Montana has become the third state to legalize euthanasia after its high court ruled December 31 that “we find nothing in Montana Supreme Court precedent or Montana statutes indicating that physician aid in dying is against public policy.”
\n“What the court did, in essence, was to place the issue back into the hands of the legislature, where it should be,” said Jeff Laszloffy of the Montana Family Foundation. “They said there’s nothing currently in statute that prohibits the practice. It’s now up to us to go into the next legislative session fully armed and ready to pass statutory language that says, once and for all, that physician assisted suicide is illegal in Montana.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well I guess you can’t blame those judges. After all a judge who thinks he can legislate has it backwards and just might think a physician trained to heal people would help them die instead. Even more messed are those doctors who get this wrong and have decided instead of “First, do no wrong” have selected “First, make sure somebody is paying for this.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
