I always laugh when I tell my American friends that Obama is more conservative than our Conservative Prime Minister, they’re always shocked.

Oh and on another note, a very classy way to stay relevant Vatican…

“We don’t judge people, but the gesture in itself is to be condemned,” said Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which is responsible for ethical issues in the Catholic Church.

So instead of choosing when to die, I guess everyone with a terminal illness should just hang on for as long as they can sucking up resources and suffering till the pitiful & painful end.
