MrSmith Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Should a Doctor be allowed to assist a man to die? Or is assisted-suicide a dark opening into legal-murder? Yes No I hoping the law is changed before I am allowed to suffer a prolonged death, we are kinder to our pets that other humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes No. But why should doctors [tasked with saving life] be permitted to kill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Either way: a. he wanted to die; and b. he has. Job done. You make it sound like washing the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 But why should doctors [tasked with saving life] be permitted to kill? For the same reason as vets do it. Vets know they are doing the animal a favour by ending its life and suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWOL Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm not sure a wish to die can be attributed to a Tory regime!...We'd all be dropping like flies if that were the case! Lots of elderly people have lost hope under the tories. They have systematically taken away the care that they used to rely on. The lady who died stated quite openly that she felt that this government was out to get them. I am talking about elderly poor here who are having their basic care needs removed by Cameron. The blood is on his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Er, not quite. The Court held that murdering him would be a criminal offence- obviously. Well yes...I get your point and stand corrected. But it does seem a bit of a coincidence that a very short time after losing in court, that he should pass away 'peacefuly'. Oh, and before anyone pulls me up on that, I'm not suggesting anything untoward was responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have a foot in both camps Jeffrey, clearly you have no concept of people being so fed up of living that they see no other way out. Hope it doesn't happen in your family like it did in ours. Perhaps you won't be so holier than thou then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please familiarise yourself with the concepts of 'logic' and 'discussion'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
