End of Life Care
End of life decisions are among the most personal we will make. These private decisions are best made personally, by individuals and their families. They cannot and should not be made for us by politicians who seek to impose a religious agenda.
When we make these deeply personal decisions, our choices must be respected. Our private, personal choice should never, ever be made political.
At one time or another most American families face difficult decisions about end of life issues. As in the Terri Schiavo case, these decisions must be made by individuals, families, and doctors, not by politicians. Legislation that imposes one religious definition of life over other beliefs would be discriminatory and a violation of religious liberty.
