So how does the 'do no harm' thing fit into physician-assisted suicide?

Um... Yeah, I've never been to impressed with arguments in favor of it. The idea, a la Oregon, is that the physician does not impose the harmful means that end a life. Rather, they provide access. However, I still don't find it compelling that a physician is not doing harm by providing a prescription for a bunch of morphine knowing full well the patient is going to end his or her life. Frankly, this capital punishment business involving physicians suprised me because it's my impression that some doctors don't take "do no harm" that seriously and easily support abortion and assisted suicide. Just curious, but how common is opposition to the death penalty among pro-lifers you interact with? Lack of a voice on that and a complacency with war from those circles seems very puzzling to me. (I realize I hold a different ontology, epistemology, and politics than most of them, so it's understandable. I'm just curious.)

Well, CPLC and the other state affiliates of National Right to Life don't take a position on capital punishment. The pro-life issue is so often wrapped up in religion and other conservative issues (i.e. gay marraige, evolution), that we as an organization make a point of staying strictly within the issues of abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, and embryonic experimentation and being non-sectarian. For some reason quoting the bible just doesn't rake in the votes...
Interestingly enough, we just had the state finals of our Teen Oratory Contest, and one student presented a speech that equivocated abortion and capital punishment as two sides of the same coin. It was kind of out of left field, as we simply don't address that issue, but a good speech. Many of his sources were Catholic in origin, which gave me the impression that more of the Catholic pro-lifers are opposed to capital punishment, while the others, your protestant-conservative-homeschooling pro-lifers are more likely to favor it in the same way they support the war. Unfortunately, i don't think they see the conflict in opposing abortion but supporting capital punishment and war. They've come to believe that 'Freedom' is just as biblical as Life, so thus are the methods of defending it, domestically and overseas. Hard to make a blanket statement for all pro-lifers though. i'd like to believe some are smart enough to think it through.
i had interesting conversation with an affiliate the other day about how teachers' unions are notoriously pro-choice, which is pretty foolish if you think about it. Over 40 million students have been aborted in the last 33 years...you'd think they'd be a little more concerned about job security. :)
