Suicide protection

“@HermesThelema - What nonsense! Do you think it's right to ignore the majority in favour of a small twisted minorities? Are we to be governed by what small insidious groups of cultist do?

Proper legislation, and by this I mean a law that has been thought through and tested thoroughly in parliament with experts from all sides, should be made to ensure that people have the right to choose assisted dying without the fear of their loved ones or anyone from the medical profession being prosecuted.

As death is a part of life, I suggest this is a right-to-life decision.”

“Ann is right on the ball here. Unfortunately suicide-cults such as "The Children of The Sun" and "Heaven's Gate" have been known to exist in the past, and it would be difficult to detail legislation to avoid making such processes legal loopholes. In addition, there are those, as has been shown by the current Government, who would uphold the Nazis belief that any who are of no use to society (such as the poor, disabled, sick, elderly, jobless) or those who are imperfect by the standards of the fictitious elite (unbeautiful, uneducated) should some how be targeted in sustained bullying and intimidation, ultimately leading to assisted suicide by a process of supposed enforced Darwinian Evolution by inflicted depression. In addition, pyramid marketing suicide-cults such as Freemasonry and Scientology would gain justification and legality for their processes of attempting to destroy any who would oppose their aims of a totalitarian society. 'Yes, he told me to do it.'

Euthanasia as ever remains a difficult issue.”

“..Circles said- 'people just want to be of the fear of prosecution & persecution from know-it-all god botherers"..

You'll find most Christians nowadays take the healthy attitude of setting the soul free from a clapped-out body-
Jesus said:-"The spirit within gives life,the flesh alone is WORTHLESS" (John 6:63 )”

“What nobody seems to consider are the cases of people with things like locked in syndrome who are incapable of committing suicide but want to end an intolerable "life". Are we not to consider their feelings? An animal would be put down but a person has to suffer. It seems unfair.”

“it's already happening, people just want to be of the fear of prosecution & persecution from know-it-all god botherers”

“If I end up as a vegetable I hope somebody will finish me off..:)”

“I agree Ann, they simply cannot make assisted suicide legal.”

“Ann, what a load of codswallop”

“Agreed blogtodi
Comparing the nazi regime, with its passion for eugenics, with the considered and compassionate approach required by a democracy is no argument.”

“Silly, fear-mongering, article. Making a comparison of assisted dying for those that want it and the Nazis is a desperate attempt to instill an irrational fear of something that the civilised world would not allow.

These arguments do nothing to further the cause of the pro-lifers. They only serve to make them appear rudderless against a tide of rationality that is sweeping the world.”
