The state’s religious communities are divided over what is perhaps the most profound question on this year’s ballot: Should people nearing the end of terminal illnesses be allowed to obtain a prescription drug to end their lives?
The largest religious force in Massachusetts, the Roman Catholic Church, has come out squarely against the referendum, as have other prominent faith voices. A handful of smaller denominations support the measure known as Question 2.

I really don't care what these various religious sects believe. I don't care if they're for assisted suicide or not. But they can keep their fingers out of my private life. It *is* my life and I want the option. I may never use it, but it's not the business of these churches to tell me that I can or I can't. Why can't they mind their own business? Why do they try to control the lives of everyone -- not just their members -- everyone!
