Ultimately the End of Life Choice Bill is about wanting the right to decide when an individual wants to die.
It is a demand to have this right to be the master of one's destiny even at the expense of those who are vulnerable in society to being persuaded to end their own lives.
This demand for self-determination is the same that underlies those who are pro-abortion, renaming their position as pro-choice.
Our society has come to value an individual's right to choose or the individual's right to refuse any external norm, above all else.
In the end, if we don't care about the rights of an unborn child, then why would we care about the rights of the vulnerable who can be influenced to mistakenly end their lives?
At its heart, the demand to choose one's own path to the exclusion of all other factors, is the motivation behind the rejection of God's sovereignty over one's life.
And to reject God's sovereignty is to reject his commandment that it is one's duty to protect the vulnerable (see Psalm 82:4; Proverbs 24:11-12; Proverbs 31:8-9; Micah 6:8).
