The notion of having "suicide clinics" where people can go to get themselves killed by whoever works there seems extremely contrary to our cultural values. Even without bringing God into the picture, this just seems very very wrong to me.
It's totally different from having a terminal illness and being prescribed a suicide pill (though I think that's wrong as well, but not the business of the government)
I mean, with the suicide clinic, you're basically treating life itself as though it's just this little thing, and ending it is a casual little thing as well.
I just don't see how that sort of mentality is good for society. We should be striving to build a culture of life for humanity's own benefit.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
