Party of Death
I reviewed Ramesh Ponnuru's book Party of Death in the current issue of the Weekly Standard. I gave it pretty much a rave.

Secondhand Smoke: Your 24/7 Seminar on Bioethics and the Importance of Being Human
This Blog considers assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, radical environmentalism, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. My views expressed here, as in my books and other writings, reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters. (The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of any organization with which I am affiliated.)

I hate to say it, but these issues aren't left/right, Democratic/Republican. Those are lies promoted by the bioethicists.
I don't care to read what a hack has to say to promote such garbage.
I saw an interview about 'Party of Death' and went out immediately to buy the book even though it's a big sacrifice for me to buy a hardcover.
The 'Party of Death' mentioned is not the Democrats or the Republicans, but the pro-death forces which have made great inroads in the Democratic party.
I wish he had written more about euthanasia and 'assisted suicide' though. People just don't realize how bad it has gotten. It makes me sit here and wonder--- am I functional enough, healthy enough, and useful enough to be allowed to go on living?
And for this blog's spammer, winston jen--- why don't you write your comments in your own blog? Your poor blog is empty!
Also--- I hope your talk about unbearable suffering and the like doesn't mean that you are suffering from depression or don't feel your life is worth living. I'm praying for you.
You two don't need to worry about monopolizing the conversation if no one else is posting. I, for one, don't mind in the least if you keep the discussion in the thread.
