The idea that assisting in the death of the terminally ill is tantamount to murder is morally repugnant


Crime and punishment is about prohibited intentional acts that deserve to be punished by society, and no act deserves to be punished more than intentionally killing another person for which the punishment used to be the death penalty reduced to life imprisonment in most civilised countries only relatively recently.

There is however one kind of intentional killing that splits free thinking societies across the globe. It is mercy killing or euthanasia about which the case going through the courts in Cyprus makes it topical, but on which it would be wrong to comment save to mention it in passing to avoid being accused of ignoring the elephant in the room.

If there is an expressed written living will then permit them to pass or with whatever feeling your soul has you can determine whether or not to assist someone.

What right does the state or someone else have to tell YOU when to die.

I have always thought ...especially after watching close family members die ...that assisted death right at the end of life should be allowed
But stories now emerging from Canada ...are of talks of people well before their time of really needing assistance to die ....but who are being encouraged to end their lives to save money for the state!

What unscrupulous Pandora’s box are we really opening?

The right to live and die has to be the decision of the individual without coercion.

In Canada there assisted murder by the health authorities and options to die presented to individuals.

Canada is a sick country
Trudeau is a sick nasty man.
The lapdogs are retarded beyond believe and probably not able to be rehabilitated.

I know where I would start the euthanasia at...........
