Bill being published today. Some food for thought here:

I genuinely don't know. Some heartbreaking stories on Nicky Campbell this morning and persuasive arguments on both sides of the debate.

With safeguards I'm in favour of this.

Edit both for the terminally ill and healthy child sex offenders/killers.

Just to resurrect this thread on something I read earlier. *gulp*

Bloody hell.

Above and beyond any ethical dimension, just imagine being a parent asked to make that kind of decision.

I don't suppose you'd ever even begin to get over it in any meaningful way.

Quote:Doctors must first ensure that a child is "in a hopeless medical situation of constant and unbearable suffering that cannot be eased and which will cause death in the short term".

But when put like that in the ice cold light of day.

I can't imagine being that parent luckily.

I was contemplating suicide in the early hours of this morning. By that I mean that I was been thinking about the topic of suicide.

Isn't it strange that no other animal is considered to commit suicide? Yes, some of them probably accelerate their deaths when ill but, aside from the Tarsier, perhaps, there doesn't appear to be any other animal that we know in the universe which ends its own life due to misery.

Quite a odd one, isn't it? Who was the first human to commit suicide due to misery? When did so many people start doing it?

Yet again, I would suggest a culprit; the percentage of suicides have dramatically increased since the Neolithic Revolution. With every stage of human greed and with every unnatural development we have been through, suicides have increased.

Human society as we experience it is solely and wholly to blame for the act of suicide. I imagine we've done it to the Tarsiers as well...
