methinks you mis-characterize this exercise. This is a choice of pro-life vis a vis pro-death but rather a pro-life pro-choice scenario and a proper one.

It is perfectly fine with me if a 30 something decides to end his/her life by either ignoring insurance coverage or living a risky life, i.e. speeding, drinking illegal drugs, promiscuous sexual propensities.

It is quite another to have another person make a decision for a human being before that human being has an opportunity to speak for him or herself.

The comparison shown during the debate were mis-leading and I am surprised not one of the candidates jumped on this
