I like to try and cover as many topics on here as I can , and this includes the odd serious one for those who don’t really want to hear about my “off the wall” lifestyle , and this particular item has been in mind for a while.
Now these thoughts were renewed by a newspaper headline at the weekend , saying there is apparently several hundred U.K. citizens sat in the queue at a Swiss euthanasia clinic at the moment .
Typical flippin’ British …………….queuing up to die :)
Gallows humour aside………………….
Euthanasia now there’s a word – the right to die – with dignity ????
I must say , the fact that :- politicians , courts and law lords won’t even debate the subject in the U.K. , shows how totally and utterly contentious this topic is , but in reality , and as far as I can see the only people who are against this concept are usually religious based organizations that in reality - you have never - ever heard
of !!!
Death in our society is still a taboo subject , and as for pre meditated death well you can totally and utterly forget that particular one
Yes and here it comes – my own opinion :)
Personally - and this does NOT apply to anyone else , and has absolutely
………… NOTHING AT ALL………….. to do with suicide……………
I think euthanasia is a very unfortunate aspect of real life which is conveniently ignored , and as sensible , educated adults we need to throw off the outmoded concepts and at least debate it seriously , instead of either pretending it doesn’t exist or letting the authorities deflect the issue by hiding behind some non existent - moral code .
I always try to be master of my own life and nobody will take away my right to die with dignity , if I so choose , and If I ever get in a totally debilitating situation due to an accident / illness - due to my active lifestyle , I’d absolutely hate to be kept alive ??? - using artificial methods.
So now you know what I think , and yes you may have a different opinion and that’s your own prerogative in a free society , but no one has got the right to use the self same free society to try and take away my choice in this , or any other matter , because of their narrow minded beliefs.
