Re: I assisted suicide murder?
I'd like to add to this that all "right to life" means is the *govt* cannot take your life without due process, or in the case of my country, the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
This is pretty easy.
We recognize a right to life for people. And a person can decide to no longer exercise their right to life. Assisted suicide is not done without the person's consent.
The unborn has no right to life. It is also completely incapable of exercising its right to life until birth. Before that, it is wholly intertwined with and dependent on the physiology of another individual.
Since you are asking about the legal aspects of the issue...this is the law.
