My line of thinking is 'what happens when the legislation is written by the BNP or UKIP?'
Will it become legal to have people euthanised for being the wrong ethnic group, sexuality, or not believing in the state religion?
Thank you.
And what about people like me? Should we give doctors divine power to decide whose life is or isn't worth living?
"Oh she's blind and deaf. Let me put her out of her misery."
"This operation will be so expensive. It will drain the family/Medicare/whatever. Why not justt kill her and be done with it?"
People say they should have a choice, but you know the individual's choice will not be at issue and like I said above, once dead the patient can neither confirm nor deny that he wanted the doctor to kill him.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
