So yesterday in Church the priest was reading out the notices and he said that lets all get together and show our support against the new bill which gives people the right to end their life if that is thier choice. Which was basically the stand taken by the church (I assume it came from higher orders) that if someone is suffering and wants to end his or her suffering when they know that they can't get any better, then they cannot!
Now I know some of you might say that it is like legalising Suicide, but then this is not the same. Here it clearly states that if there is an elder who is unwell, then they have the right to euthanasia. Now I think that is purely fair. If you have a terminal disease and you KNOW that you will only keep on suffering if you go on with the medication, then would you not want the choice of ending your life? I mean you are already suffering, you are wasting your money on medication, you know that IF you do recover then you will not get back to a normal life... then should you not have the right to end your life? Provided it is your decision and not any others?
But then I also feel that others, like family members should have the right to decide if the patient is not conscious. Having gone through personal experience, I think it is only fair that this bill/rule be passed and it should come to effect.
I would like to hear your point on this...
