I wonder if the euthenasia mob have found out from planned parenthood in America how much money they can make from body parts.

Dear Suse,

I'm afraid I disagree:

If two people freely and genuinely agree between them that one will either kill the other or assist them to kill themselves, then it should be nobody else's business. Reason and method have nothing to do with it.

I understand that you need some safeguards to ensure that their agreement is genuine, that there is a real danger that murder can slip through, so it would be fine to suggest and discuss what those safeguards should include. Killing someone with their genuine consent is not murder, only when consent is not given.

Clearly I don't condone this kind of behaviour and would not take part in it myself.

ttbn "It should never happen on the whim of someone who doesn't use contraception or someone who is tart who gets caught."

Oh absolutely, the guy who doesn't use condoms, or the guy putting it out there for all and sundry, leading to pregnancies, should be made to pay for the abortion at the very least...
