Right to die -- Why not right to live?

Many people want to give people with "terminal illnesses" the right to kill themself. Why not give them the right to user experimental drugs to improve their life instead?

Should the government do every good thing?

An article from Focus on the Family Action is titled "Urge Congress to Preserve Abstinence Funding". I agree that abstinence education is good but I don't think the federal government is good at that or should do that. And when the government does things that it shouldn't, then it generally causes more problems. I usually agree with Focus on the Family and Focus on the Family Action but I disagree when they suggest that the federal government should do things it wasn't designed to do (even "good things"). Abstinence funding should come from families, churches, non-profits, and local school districts.
