Imediatly this sentence stands out. Why are so many of you right wingers convinced that everyone who is disagrees with you is involved in some sort of grand conspiracy?
Obviously people would have the right to choose if they wanted death or not. And their death would be supervised by at least one other doctor, and assessed by a psychiastrist to make sure they were of sound mind.
Ah so its a God thing. Just because Christians think that its immorral, does not mean you have right to prevent a large minority of non-christians from having the right to end their own misery if they choose.
Well if they didnt agree then they would not be killed!!! Obviously! Its not compulsory!
Yes. Every single binary opposition has been reversed in the past 10 years... I blame the MTV generation...
Way to alienate 50% of the population - that should be "he/she".
Well then Dr. Glanville Williams is obviously a complete nutcase. How dare the author of this "article" link this nazi to people who beleive that suffering should be ended if they want it to be ended.
How in God's name does this have anything to do with euthanasia?? I'm not supporting killing anyone off! Thats absurd!
So I assume you, like me, are against the the death penalty then?
What if they say "I have a terminal illness and I would like to be put of my misery in a dignified way because I am in a lot of pain?" Shouldn't this be allowed?
THIS GUY IS A DOCTOR!!!! Somebody this disgustingly ill informed about the simple issue of euthanasia should be robbed of his practise. I hope his ability to look after people is better than his arguing skills.
That article was a joke.

No, that's just about it. I think that's about the sum of it.

I could use that statement against going to war in Iraq. Its not an argument, its a childish attempt to slader my statement by trying to link me with a genocidal nutcase.

hahaha! oh dear MO...
So you don't beleive that if a terminally ill person wants to end their life they should a right to? What in Gods name has this got to do with terrorism?? Stop trying to avoid the argument.
Oh and stop trying to link me with abortion. I have never said a single thing on that issue. How dare you presume to know what my stance on it is.

Sure they do. They just don't have a right to take medical ethics with them.

No, it means I don't care if people want to off themselves. It's relatively easy and does not require the assistance of someone who took an oath to first do no harm.

Autopsy Reveals Euthanasia Victim Cancer-Free Friday, June 11, 2004 By Sam Kastensmidt Two years ago in Australia, Nancy Crick chose to end her life to avoid the pain associated with her medical diagnosis — bowel cancer. On May 22, 2002, surrounded by twenty-one euthanasia supporters, Ms. Crick swallowed a lethal barbiturate and died shortly thereafter. Sadly, her post-mortem autopsy revealed that her body was cancer-free. Euthanasia Advocate Was Well-Aware of Good Health The country’s leading euthanasia campaigner — Dr. Philip Nitschke — has now announced that he knew ahead of Nancy Crick's death that she was cancer-free, but did not make that public. “To Nancy’s mind, it didn't really matter,” he said. “I guess to my mind it didn't matter either. The scope of the euthanasia movement is not restricted to the terminally ill. It extends to anyone who is dissatisfied with his or her life.”<br> Movement to Normalize Suicide Oddly enough, the 69-year-old resident of Queensland had been using a website as a journal for her last months, which leads many to believe that she was planning to kill herself, regardless of her health condition. According to CNS News, her actions on the website seemed conducted “in a conscious bid to promote the campaign for voluntary euthanasia.”<br> John Edge, euthanasia advocate who was present at her suicide, believes that suicide should be accepted for all people upset with their lives. "To her, whether she had cancer, or whether the pain was coming as the result of surgery, didn’t matter to her,” he said. “She just wanted peace, and the only way she could see she would get peace, was to end her life.”<br> Australian Police Investigate Criminal Behavior A spokesman for the Queensland Police Service announced plans to conduct a criminal review into the Crick suicide. "The reason she took her life is not the issue,” he said. “The only matter for investigation is whether someone broke the law in assisting her in some way. There’s a range of possibilities: Just witnessing her death or having knowledge of what she intended to do is not necessarily an offense in itself, but actively assisting her could be an offense.”<br> Take Action! Contact your elected officials and urge them to oppose legislation that will serve to cheapen the value of human life.
