Simply out of curiosity, is the personal ethics your individual ethic or is it because the Catholic church doesn't like it? Geez that sounds like I'm asking that in a snotty way but I swear I'm not.

Lol, it's ok I know you're not being snotty. It's both. The Church teaches to respect life from conception to natural death (including your own) on the premise that life is sacred, and I agree with that. It's a pretty fundamental part of my world view and outlook on life in general, and isn't a case of me just going along with it because it says so.

I do think it should be legal though, I just don't think it's morally good.
"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."
