Think we can agree on that.<br /><br />Capital punishment will never be re-introduced over here and thank Christ for that.<br /><br />You nail the key distinction on suicide and assistance. A person choosing to end his or her own life should be (and now is) free to do so without fear of reprisal if they screw it up.<br /><br />Compelling someone to kill you is selfish and wrong.<br /><br />Compelling someone to get a move on and die so the next of kin can sell the house and get their grubby little paws on the proceeds - well, that's just nauseating isn't it?<br /><br />But that's what we're looking at.<br /><br />Along with (and sorry if I hit a raw nerve as you're a Manc) another Harold Shipman having free rein to 'assist' old ladies to their death and magically appear in the will.<br /><br />Sometimes the imperfect situation we have is best left alone.Daz Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935407418226324575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23662827.post-73398212519009451952014-10-20T18:35:46.936+01:002014-10-20T18:35:46.936+01:00I'm not familiar with either of these women, b...I'm not familiar with either of these women, but these are issues that should not resonate with us all. In general I've been in favor of euthanasia/death with dignity, and I'd never thought that it might be abused by an elderly person's relatives. I wonder what protections are in place in those countries where euthanasia is legal?Cyprian Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157635878311909746noreply@blogger.com
