I dont think assisted suicide is any sicker then getting people hooked on meds in order to mask a medical/psychological problem rather then fixing it.
I believe in god but no I have no affinity to any religion, I don't follow a religious path but if someone does, then it's all to the good. You really shouldn't try and pigeon hole the iidea of being against "legalised" euthanasia as a religious ideal, if you can't see the dangers in having the state decide who lives and who dies then you need to snap out of whatever trance you are in.
It should be legalized, but heavily regulated. There's no point in suffering if you have a terminal illness. How the fuck can abortion be legal, but not euthanasia?

How the fuck can abortion be legal, but not euthanasia?The problem is mate that what this essentially entails is a panel of so called experts who will decide if someone lives or dies and increasingly this is being decided on a cost benefit analysis, i.e. the elderly do not make a contribution to the economy anymore and so therefore we need to deprive them of health care which would save their life. This is the reality of what heavy regulation is, indeed this is what was mentioned about the new stimulus package, that it contained measures to restrict vital health care to the elderly. These people have paid into the economy their entire lives, they are as entitled as anyone else as far as I am concerned. As for this bullshit of but we don't have the money, they just print the money whenever they want, as has been mentioned many times before, this aint about money.
