"Euthanasia Correct or not?"

Do you believe that euthanasia should be made legal in Britain?
People believe that it is technically murder to have a Doctor kill you. But then animals have the right to die if they are in pain, why not humans?

Well, there were a few other threads, but the point is mute now. You haven't stalked me in a little while. So, I'm thinking we can finally have some repoir. I agree with it being tactless to ridicule anyone's faith and that people should make up their own minds on these issues. My mind has been made up by what I preceive as right and wrong...and my faith has made a major impact on that. Just me. I won't try to influence you or anyone else. Although, I have been a catechist..taught children in Sunday school.

I think it's a buncha malarki myself. I've lived in the Bible Belt and it ain't perty. These circumstances happen when stupid people are lead by radical Machivellians. Small minded people with a little knowledge are to be feared most. They concentrate on nothing but the worst of situations. Then, they start insinuating things about people that are different than themselves, hold different views, or that they just don't understand, and racism and hatred sprawls like wildfire amongst the dumb.

Even in the political arena there are checks and balances and lobbyists (gotta love 'em) that filter the injustice. Occassionally, however, crap sifts through and that's what I'd like to believe these numbnuts elected into office are trying to resolve or atleast curtail.

It's my boy's birthday today. I'm off to celebrate life. Blessings.

I think that people who can at least speak, and their mental health is OK, should be allowed to die, of course theyd be able to tell people themselves.

I'm talking some sort of cancer which will either kill them in 6 months if they stay in thisbed, or they'll die within a fortnight if they don't stay in the bed.

I'd rather die after those two weeks, as would most people.


Anyway, people should have to put something like that on their life insurance or whatever, but if they are killed in that way, it invalidates it or something.

I don't know what the majority believe, all I'm doing is putting across my view that in some extreme cases I think it should be legal. It's certainly a topic that needs some serious debate...

Meh, I've not 'followed you around' on these forums, nor have I singled you out. As far as I'm aware this is the first and only topic in which I've quoted anything you've said... I quoted your post and replied to certain sections of it as I wanted to raise points about what you said. Not to ridicule you or feel superior. And as I have previously pointed out I have no desire to ridicule anyone's faith, just raise the point that people should make up their own minds on these issues. If you have made your own mind up and not been led by religious rhetoric then I respect that.

I just don't want to see a situation here in the UK like in the US where the religious right have huge influence on politics, to the extent where politicians create new laws to try and go against a courts wishes...

I'm accepting* the fact that you have different opinions. I just don't go tearing up your posts to prove mine. Well, now I am...because you've pretty much asked me too.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I don't understand why you're singling me out. I guess I'm just a noob and subject to your ridicule. Do what you must if it'll make you feel superior. I'll let you win and back down, because I know you probably need it more to feel you have.

It's exhausting rehashing what I've already written, yes. It's all really simple, Sibs. Yet, it's becoming so complicated to appease the sake of argument. Silly. And, yes, exhausting.

> And frankly I have no idea what you mean by me idolising you...?

Again, that you would single me out of everyone else posting here. I see you following me around these forums. Why will you not leave me be? I wish you no ill.

Am I truly the only one that wishes euthanasia remain illegal? Then, will you please answer me, why it is not yet legal if so many want it?

I would really like to know the truth in that myself. I'm believing that the average, standard person, to whom we refer to as "normal," is the culprit for withholding it from legistation. Because it's wrong. It's murder. And, thou shalt not kill.

But, please believe what you will. This is merely my opinion.

[edit] *correction in grammar. psh..like anyone will bother reading this drivel.

I didn't know we were playing a game. Why is it that anyone has to "win." Can't we just respect eachother for our opinions. Mine are not so far off from Sibs. He merely wants to extricate me because I believe in God. That is not fair.

I will not chastise you because you do not.
