Very well put, mostly. You had me right up to those last two paragraphs, then you made me wanna scream.

"Life is a gift" is the greatest lie ever created. It was created for many reasons, mostly I would say for biology/evolution so we continue to procreate in spite of all the pain, suffering and lack of inherent meaning, but also to help quench the guilt (often subconsciously) that most parents will silently suffer when they realize they created something without its consent or solicitation that has no purpose and has to suffer and die, possibly in a horrifying way, and may very well have a miserable life that it wishes it never had. I don't believe we have the right to make this choice for anyone anymore than I think we have the right to take someone's life.

Sorry Humby, I still love ya and hope you don't hate me for this, but when I see or hear that phrase, it's like injecting fire into my veins.
