RE: Victoria Is A Whisper Away From Becoming The First Australian State To Legalise Assisted Dying
I certainly respect your point of view @zainab25 and thank you for the input. I believe the line is drawn at the individual having choice about the most fundamental part of life. The state is a very poor instrument for imposting restrictions on ethics and morals. Abuse of this situation is no different conceptually to abuse of any other situation in which a person comes to harm. Laws don't stop those who break the law, they only make for more arduous conditions for law abiding folk and in this case, the results are potentially years of excruciating pain.
True, that's also a good point, years of excruciating pain is a good reason for doing this.
This is a subject were you never can pleae everyone.. there are people for and people against is. There is no middle way in this.
Hopefully people use it wise when they are able to do this.
