And before calling a euthanised person's family members 'murderers' you are calling God a murderer as well.

As He is (supposed to be) almighty He could have prevented Jesus' crucifixion.

He did nothing to protect his son from being nailed to a cross.

Whos descision is this to be made, yours the gevernment i do not think so

This should be a personal choice as to this has the option for a person to pass away peacefully and with dignity.

A persons rights are just that and when it come to ones self that is up to that person.

I agree wholeheartedly with the great majority of posts in this discussion. We have the right to decide when our lives should end - if they are not ended by external circumstances. I took the trouble to obtain a copy of Sandra Kanck's speech, made more difficult by the puerile decision of the SA government to prohibit its publication on the Hansard web site.

It is well worth reading, and is readily available by sending an e-mail to her office address. A printed copy will then be sent to you. It is a mature, sensitive and well informed plea for compassion in making available humane ways of euthanasia. What is less realised is that it is also a strong argument against suicide in young people, or for those other than for whom life has become intolerable.

At any time, I have the right to end my life. But jumping off of a 20 storey building or blowing my head off with a shotgun are grossly irresponsible to those left behind. Drugs and car exhaust are uncertain. When my time comes (and come it will), I want the option to go as peacefully as possible, and not to have to leave in pain, fear and confusion because of political cowardice and religious blindness.

Bloody christian for sure. When are you going to realise that god decides on judgement day if youv'e done wrong, and will deal with your actions appropriately. It's not up to you blasphemous fools to judge anybody. So keep your idiotic opinions to yourself.

That's a judgmental thing to say, ryechus ;+)
