Re: A Duty To Die?
A "duty to die" in order to make things easier for other people and the state is absolutely wrong and is both a disgusting and ridiculous thing to say. If a person themself chooses to request euthenasia for valid medical reasons then i don't have a problem so long as very stringent procedures are in place to ensure it is only that persons wishes and capacity to make that request that are taken into account. This idea of family members being able to choose when someone can be "put down" scares the hell out of me and is not something i would ever support in any shape or form.
Yes people get old and they require more care and yes they get medical problems that can be hard to bear for family and friends but isn't part of being family and a good friend that you look after those that need it at times they need it. Also as has been said this might start off small but it will grow into something abhorent and far reaching. Taking myself as an example i have a degenerative illness which means i will require more care as i get older so why wait give me the shot now and save all that hassle.
This is wrong and the fact someone in her position is even talking like this is a worrying thing for me
