Who is in control?

The new right-to-die law took effect March 5 in the state of Washington. It allows doctors to give a lethal dose of drugs to terminally ill patients who request it. I say that such a law shoves us further down the slippery slope. It's by patient request now -- how long until it's at the doctor's or the government's discretion?

Booth Gardner, a proponent of this measure, said, "It's about autonomy, personal choice and respect. I was in control of my life. I should be allowed to be in control of my death." I submit to you, Mr. Gardner, that God should be in control of your life, and God should be in control of your death.
