Well folks, we've now heard some different points of
view - which is one of the reasons why this forum is
so interesting.

Those who are in favour of prolonging the suffering of people for the sake of making themselves feel good should be made to care for those who really don't want to go on.

well the deceitful abortion debate was 'won' by those claiming it was all about the 14 year old girl who had been raped. Now predominantly for convenience close to 100000 babies are butchered here in Australia each year. You would either have to be stupid or naïve to think killing the elderly will be restricted to the cases used in arguments.

Here is an innovative idea; decriminalise suicide, remove its tag from mental illness and call it as personal responsibility.

The system is in play, with currently around three thousand suicides pa in Australia.

Interestingly though, free-will suicide is being treated as an epidemic. There is a total inconsistency on this subject, which brings to question the motivation behind assisted suicide.

Runner has presented with the "touché" moment, encapsulating the inconsistency and fraud it all is.

"Here is an innovative idea; decriminalise suicide,..."

It has been decriminalised, so what's your next idea?

*...It has been decriminalised, so what's your next idea?...*

Go to step two. Make suicide universally acceptable. Isn't that exactly what is being attempted by the proposal to legitimise human euthanasia?

In fact, the numbing process is well under way. People generally, are happy to euthanise their pet dog or cat at the end of it's useful life. It's a small step to euthanase Granny and Popy. Poor old things, why should they suffer to the end?
Besides, the sooner dead the sooner we scoop the inheritance!
