I remember David Steel's abortion bill. I was all for it; it was designed to help those who really needed it & was fenced in with all sorts of safeguards to ensure it was not abused. Today, well........
Euthanasia is the same sort of deal. I would happily face jail to put a loved one out of misery, if really necessary, & hopefully one of my loved ones would do the same for me. I would not trust the system with that sort of power however. They should keep the peace, & dispose of the trash period. That way we could all sleep well at night.

I think it is important to examine euthanasia from every perspective. When I first faced this issue of euthanasia, I felt compelled by personal choice, freedom, etc. It was only until I began to look at the consequences of such legislation, both personally and professionally, that I began to adapt my views.
I would like to talk about the similarities and differences between abortion and euthanasia, but I will quickly run out of room :)
