Other Sites: Against Tracy Latimer's Being Killed:

http://www.chninternational.com/tracybod.htm Is Tracy better off Dead? This, I believe, site
lacks credibility but the Robert Latimer supporters I really think are a godsend to them.

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.
