There is really no need to legislate for euthanasia and assisted suicide separately. Euthanasia would automatically encompass assisted suicide. Just look at it as a kind of smogasbord where a range of options are available to those patients, who are granted euthanasia.
Hi SapperK9,
We haven’t bumped into each other here on OLO, have we.
I don’t mind telling you that I’m an atheist, because I can imagine knowing where people come from may help short-cut the discussion.
People who know me on here would know that I only use the term ‘atheist’ for the lack of a better term. I’m an atheist in the way that I’m simply not convinced that there is any evidence that some kind of god exists. Religions are selling their brand of god, and I’m not buying before they present me with evidence.
I have little problem with religion as long as they are open to criticism, don’t oppose paying taxes, and do not interfere with the freedom of people who are not members of their religion. Hehehe : )
