Deja vu all over again - No dignity at end of life for you

Well, it's happening again, some wussie Democratic legislators, Assembly members this time, are holding up the passage of death with dignity in the State of California, citing the Catholic Church belief in "life," as the reason. Life? This is not about life, it is about choice, about having the right to choose when your life is no longer worth surviving (not living), because you are in intractable pain in the final stages of a lethal disease. You should suffer. It's what they all celebrate about Jesus.

Who would Jesus want to see suffering? Ask youirselves that question, and then vote for what's right. Not what Mother Church tells you.

In 2006, when I worked on the campaign to pass a similar bill the California Medical Association joined the Church in its opposition. No more. Today the CMA is neutral. In 2006 Senator Joe Dunn killed the vote after a long speech about a talk he had with his Bishop. Soon thereafter he took a plum job with the CMA.

Who are these Senators really beholden to?

Pardon my cynicism.
