Right to die?
To the Editor:
Presently we are arguing the
"Right to Die" in Oregon. There
is great intensity on both sides
and I believe it is because this
question is so basic to human
morality that it begets emotions
rather than logical discourse. I
also believe the equation is
simple. Is there a God who
created mankind, and to whom
they are ultimately responsible?
Or are we simply accidents from
a cosmic quagmire, fortunate (?)
to be on top o f the evolutionary
scale and without responsibility
to anyone or anything but our
personal gratification?
Most who hold the first opinion
do not wish to take their own or
any other life, for to them this is
evil and evil has a penalty.
Those strongly possessed of the
second opinion have only to
gratify their own desires and
consider that the end of one
human life is equivalent to a
deteriorating cell in the body of
the cosmos.
I am voting for Measure 51 for
two reasons. First, I believe
shortening (anyone's) life is
wrong, period. Second, anytime
society will rationalize away the
rights o f any one group of the
society, it is but a short step
down a slippery slope to
rationalize away the rights of any
other group. As a student of
history, I remember a man
named Dietrich Bonhoffer. He
did not survive the Third Reich,
however his words did. He said
in essence, "When they came for
the Jews I didn't protest because
I wasn't Jewish. When they
came for the Catholics I didn't
protest because 1 wasn't Catholic.
When they came for the

Methodists I didn't protest
because I wasn't Methodist.
When they came for me, there
was no one left to protest." I also
remember that during the Third
Reich the elderly, the infirm, the
demented, and others who were a
"burden to the Reich" were
simply euthanized. I believe
"Death with Dignity" is simply
another short step down that
slippery slope.
