Linda and I were/are both religious people. We took God and the sanctity of life really seriously. We are part of a religious tradition that is strict about the sanctity of life but also compassionate. It never occurred to either of us that what Linda wanted was wrong, unethical or irreligious. What kind of God would want life to be prolonged beyond the point of endurance and meaning? Times Online
Editor: This begs the question about what is a meaningful life? He goes on to say, "to hasten death when life is not life is an act of compassion," but doesn't explain how life can not be life.
