Humanities rights have long been restricted by religiously driven dogma.

As society has evolved, the world has moved from a world dominated by "thy shalt not" to one where individual human rights are recognised, people have been allowed to choose for themselves.

Homosexuality used to be illegal, as divorce. As humanity gains the right to live as they choose, it is inevitable that they should desire to choose how to live the last few months.

i recently participated..in a near/death..discussion..show will-be..on Friday 8th/at 8.30pm...aired..in brisbane..31 QCTV

some/of..the issues raised here...
are discussed there

there is a lot more to living...
and the way we die..than casual opinion can rectify...

[in fact many/topics fall into..the grey-zone]
thats what the program will/be called

there will be a discussion/link
so bring your/opinions there

its sad many/truelly-good..people really believe..death is it
there-is so much more/than this mere material incarnation

but so much..fits into the grey-area..of opinion
when we/should..be deciding things/based-on fact

King Hazza, stop misrepresenting what I say.

I never said relatives will actively murder the elderly, but they *will* put the hard word on grandma to sign off on the euthanasia permit. I've seen the sordid depths to which peoples' treatment of their elderly relatives will descend.

I wish I could share the view from your ivory tower, but unfortunately I've been down in the mire of real life.

"Yes, sometimes terminally ill people die awful deaths, and yes, it may be better *sometimes* to spare people prolonged and hopeless suffering," Clownfish says. You are making real progress, Clownfish.

I've watched three people who I loved die terrible deaths and I am determined that it won't happen to me.

What would really push this issue in the right direction would be if the relatives of each person who died a terrible, agonizing, slow death could sue those who are responsible for engaging in deliberate, pointless cruelty.

yet much to do with our works

Nice try at applying a latte-sipper slur Clown- Wally would be proud of you.

But explain how there can even be an 'ivory tower' in this issue as opposed to a 'real world' from MY position?

Anyway, you should read up on the previous Euthanasia discussions and get back later- don't bother replying until you can actually quote one of the many answers to your silly strawmen.

Then again, you can even explain why the fictitious spook story you gave is worth the suffering of hundreds, maybe thousands of others in this country each year? Especially when I already told you there are easier ways to kill Grandma immediately and get away with it (if, for some reason the relatives can't bear waiting), and that the worst of this scenario is that Grandma felt pressured or obligated to off herself?

Also, check on some answers that address these as well, I advise a website called 'Google'.
