I’m kinda mixed on this thing.
I get it when people who are terminally ill,, if it’s their choice, they can square up with GOD over weather or not it is punishable in the eternal darkness or not..
But this could be a slippery slope.. what if someone who is in a nursing home or someone else who is considered a burden?
I dunno

If the person is of sound mind terminally ill and decides this is the path they want iam all for it.ive seen way to much suffering with friends and family members.we treat animals with more respect then a human being.

Yep. I'm for it but I think it could come with issues.

The law will be abused by the government in Illinois, just as happened in Canada.

As a Catholic and regarding assisted suicide, I wouldn't even consider it.

Regardless, I am not concerned with how other people how live or end their lives. Freedom.

I haven't read the law and am addressing the subject generally.

In IL your just a drone to be taxed once you outlived that usefulness they don’t need you then. I wonder how many indigent people they will bump off using this law everything in IL comes down to money in the end. Like most laws it will probably end up weaponized and another “Land of Lincoln” scandal in the future.

Never regretted leaving that state!

It makes me think of the work horse, Boxer, in George Orwell's "Animal Farm", getting hauled off by the nacker, after he can no longer work.

It would be very easy to talk an already depressed person into suicide. And some people are sick enough to consider old people useless.

Go to a nursing home, many there don't know where they are. If that's living, I'll pass.

If you're really a Catholic you should be concerned about life....all life.....freedom has nothing to do with it. If you can point to any Catholic teaching that says..."hey..it's your life.....feel free to denigrate and end the life God gave you...on your terms....I won't stand in your way because ummm...freedom " ...point that teaching out for me.

You obviously haven't spent much time volunteering or helping out in a nursing home. Give it a try..maybe you'll learn something.

Culture of death. Life is worth living from moment of conception to natural death.

Look up MAID in Canada. Quite a few horror stories coming out of there and it has reached the fourth leading cause of death.

Maybe you can teach me something....... My mom is in one, Only thing I learned is I sure don't want to end up in one...

My missus has worked nursing homes since she was fifteen. She would slap your jaws for that thought.

I would question your morality making that sort of determination regarding others. What's next, clearing the ghettos?

Death with Dignity.

My 45 1911 never leaves my side

The thought has crossed my mind many a time

Not yet, got two who depend on me even in this pain

My wife and my beagle


Nuff said

Brings up the old argument, my body, my choice

I didn't determine anything, I said they don't know where they are, which is true. Also that it's not for me and I'm not doing it. Reading comprehension is a good thing.
