I my opinion I think that an individual has the choice to VOLUNTARY Euthanasia. I think that if a person is terminally ill THEY have the right to request Euthanasia. I think taking Terry Shiavo off life support was acceptable. I don't think the "mercy killing" of a disabled person is at all justified. Tracy Latimer was not brain dead or terminally ill nor did she ever request to die. She was also living outside her mother's uterus which, I think, makes this different from abortion.
Another point I think that a person with a disability has just as much right not to be killed as a non-disabled. Another point I think that a person with a disability has just as much right not to be killed as a non-disabled.

I think that a Pro-Robert Latimer rally should be treated like a KKK rally or Minutemen rally since Robert Latimer supporters are effectively agitating for violence against a minority. I think if they speak at a campus or at a forum they should be treated like Horowitz or the Minutemen speaking at a forum.
