The church has always dictated how people live. It is no surprise they think they get a say in how people die. It is our fault for allowing them to have so much power and as any other dictatorship, the church should be given limits by which they must abide or be ousted from power.
Target: U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

The nation's most powerful religious body is launching an attack on the right to dictate our end-of-life decisions.
During its high-profile June 15-17 meeting in Seattle, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposed the choice of aid in dying at life's end.
The Bishops Conference proposes a platform designed to restrict patient access to end-of-life choice. Their document, To Live Each Day with Dignity, is the first statement on aid in dying by the full body of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
They also seek to shame people who support aid in dying, and the terminally ill patients who seek it, through the unique power of their pulpit.
Every American should have the right to a dying process free of meddling from religious or governmental institutions.
Let the Conference of Bishops know that their views do not reflect mainstream opinion. No one--and no institution--should have the power to dictate your end of life choices.
