The new 'right to die' bill, now i'm not proposing euthanasia here in the same way you can end your life in Sweden because you are old, this is bringing about the inevitable end of pallative care in the death of a patient, before it happens. This done to help the patient to not suffer whatever throes that will eventually cause their death, characterised of course by the sad passing of Diane Petty who lost her human rights case to die before her body suffocated her in what can only be imagined as an terrible suffering.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4757063.stm
Doctors in the UK do not support the bill, would you allow someone in Diane Petty's case to die, or as suicide is a sin and a crime are you held by your religious or legal and moral beliefs?
and before Orpheus says anything, no I havent been euthanised personally, but please refrain from debating on debating or i'll beat you up
Another simple debate

In the case of Diane Petty I believe she had the right to end her life, it was bad knowing that she suffered right to the end, that to me was sad.
So what was the point of making her suffer anymore than she needed to, once again religion and politics is wrong to even get involved, did she realy have to suffer to get to meet God, if I was made to suffer like that I may as well go to Hell...
Oh and please dont tell me that Jesus suffered for us, Diane was a "Real" person.

why they don?t use their turn signals when changing lanes.I carry a hammer in my car and if I see a person turning without using the signals I ask them in a calm way if I could smash their turn signals out as they seem like a waste and of no use to them on the car.
Back to the topic: I had to watch my brother waste away till he died, he was in constant pain, the pain killers stop working after a while, it deprived him of his dignity. :

I am pro euthanasia. In some cases anyway.
I believe you should have the right to end your life if these 3 points are fufilled:
1)You have a life threatening illness or injury.
2)You have such a small chance of recovery that it is negligable.
3)You are in pain.
I think under those circumstances it would be okey, but only after some serious thought, of about 3-4 weeks say.
I don't believe you should just be able to die because you have had a shit day though.
I think a person should have the right to die, if they really have a very poor quality of life.

Things like this can go either way. There are people who truely deserve the right to choose hwether they live or die, and then there are the crazy suicidal freaks.

Uh.. everyone should be able to decide whether to die or not, when they want it. Gets more trickay if the person's unconsious and the family wants to kill 'im off. I'm rather split on the issue.

Depending on how long you go at it men can come twice.
I disagree with the 43% or whatever who think kids 10-11 should get cell phones. Are they stupid? Kids that age are way too immature to carry around something like that. I'm with the 14-16 range.

Time to consolidate the topics in this thread. Have a 10-year-old get a hot girl off with a cell phone on Vibrate mode. Then they can kill themselves... in Scandiavia.
All seriousness aside, what's up with these "female ejaculation" emails I sometimes get in the junkbox? It can't be ALL fake? I'm a bit of a sexnub obviously. Maybe you can explain. lol

They've got doctor-assisted suicide here in Oregon, essentially if you have a terminal disease and less than 6 months to live, you can get a prescription for an overdose of painkillers, essentially. Not sure if this has been mentioned but I don't want to read it to check, 'cause I'm lazy.

Assisted suicide runs into trouble because the doctors could say they "assisted" the patient, suicide's illegal because a government isn't supposed to let its citizens die.

I think suicide is illegal because if it was legal it'd be a loophole to get out of paying taxes.
