No we don't ! Bullshit that euthanasia reduces choice! what choice does it reduce?? what choices are there left when you are dying in unbearable pain?? Only blackminded people go against the legalization of euthanasia .

stmartin > 'defending civilisation' ?? i would like to see how you would be gald to be defended when you would be suffering from a fatal painful disease . i give 100% you would re-think your attitude towards a lethal injection very quickly ....
