Euthanasia, your views

In fairness I probably wouldn’t have believed it either only for the story circulating at the min about a surgeon who implanted springs into children…

I didn’t say I think that, I said I wouldn’t agree with it and I wouldn’t like to be asked in an unofficial setting, which does happen.

Assisted suicide takes many forms, not necessarily just in clinical settings. In any case it wouldn’t be something I’d agree with and certainly not to the extent of Canada for instance who offers it to their homeless..

sorry I edited the post because I misread at first

but as I say you are rather naive to think it does not happen in private settings, I didn’t say it happened legally, but it certainly happens. I’m sure there’s plenty of ways to “help” that wouldn’t necessarily involve you pulling the trigger— or swinging the shovel.

I think legal euthanasia would perhaps encourage more of this from people who don’t fit the criteria but feel that’s unfair or whatever since they feel like there’s “no harm”, or worse well end up offering it to the junkies or homeless like Canada..

I'm in favour of it. People saying "they can kill themselves, tough" are just heartless, edgy types. Zero empathy. Like a person who is in absolute agony can just do that.

They've no idea of just how haunting it is to see a person in unbearable pain, and maybe they'd feel differently if they were going through it themselves or their loved one was.
