The Topic of Assisted Death

Suicide: This is one of those topics that is frowned upon. It is a copout on life, an excuse to not face reality, and the ultimate sin if you're a God fearing person. People commit suicide for many different reasons, however the decision to take your life if you are terminally ill and you don't have the desire to live with those conditions may be justified in one's head. Assistance of the suicide from a doctor that will set up and provide the equipment and the medication is a touchy subject and could be viewed many different ways but the bottom line is...suicide is suicide no matter why or how it happens.

Abortion: A very controversial topic with many opinions on it.  So here's the problem with abortion, for some reason only the voice of the "Mother" is heard. What about the "Father"? He has no say in whether or not the life of is unborn child should be terminated but if the Mother decides to give birth to the child and the Father doesn't want the child, he has no say but is obligated for the next eighteen years to financially support this child. As it stands today; this is a just law on it's face and an unjust law in it's application. As far as I'm concerned, the second there are functioning organs and a heartbeat there is no doubt that that is a fetus. My own personal opinion: From the day of conception it is a life in the making and deserves a chance to live.

Death Penalty: Another one of those highly controversial topics that many people have strong opinions about. I personally do not believe in the death penalty but I don't believe in any luxuries in prison either. Maybe they shouldn't be killed but kept locked up in a small room with only water and enough food to sustain life. No t.v., no gym equipment, no cigarettes, no juice, coffee, or soda, no luxuries of any kind. It would keep our hard earned tax money to a minimum and the rest of their life unfulfilled with hours on end to think of why they are living in hell for the rest of their lives. Death for those who have committed crimes to that magnitude is the easy way out and doesn't really seem like punishment.
