McCain/Palin Position

After Obama stated his "biggest mistake" on the Terri Schiavo case, John McCain said he felt that her case was all "very sad" and a "great American tragedy." McCain's position on euthanasia and physician assisted suicide is easier to clarify than Obama's: McCain, as well as his running mate Sarah Palin, are very Republican and very pro-life. With that said, McCain and Palin are very firm believers in that every individual has the right to life, and practices including abortion and euthanasia, should not be considered in [majority] cases.

Although McCain has not firmly addressed his position on euthanasia and physician assisted suicide exactly, Republicans follow the principle that no human being should be considered the property of another. This principle explains why McCain did not agree with the decision made in the Terri Schiavo case. McCain would not agree that Terri's husband had the power and control to allow the doctors to proceed in the euthanasia, and McCain would not agree that doctors have the right to control the life or death of a patient. Majority of Republicans, including McCain and Palin, "uphold the principle that every human being, born and unborn, young and old, healthy and disabled, has a fundamental, individual right to life." If a broad statement needed to be made on McCain and Palin's position on euthanasia and physician assisted suicide, they would be against the practice's.
