text: You are simply trying to turn the Catholic teaching that all life (that's ALL life) is sacred into a cafeteria where you get to pick and choose whose life you will uphold and whose you life you will cast by the wayside.  The ethic of life is not divisible, and deliberately shortening human life is a sin no matter what tool, tactic or legislation one uses to do the dirty work.  Well, we humans do not get to chose who gets to live and who gets to die - our choice is whether we will stand up for the sanctity of life at at all times and in all places, or whether we will find following Jesus hard and, like the pseudo-disciples in John's gospel, no longer follow him.  I can see you've made your choice, and I pray you change your mind.
