My life, my choice! I resent politicians and others who deprive us of such a critical decision. How cruel, to keep those particular terminally ill people suffering, mentally and physically, who would dearly love to end their suffering through voluntary euthanasia.
I fully support Bob Brown on this and hope the bill succeeds. EVERY opinion poll on this subject through the years has shown the majority of the general population supports the right of terminally ill people to choose voluntary euthanasia for themselves. |

| We take animals out of their misery, we should be able to also, if we are truly suffering...it would still be absolutely heart wrenching to make a decision like that though. |

Check out the European countries that currently have euthenasia; 10 of their euthenasias are NOT voluntary, and the elderly fear illness and hospitals.
Euthenasia is a wonderful way for the politicians to deal with an aging population and rising health costs. After all, they don't have to pay for the funerals. |

As a simplistic answer for a medical problem it should be outlawed. What we should be demanding is advances in science and medicine to deal with terminal disease. Instead we kill the sick and wounded? It is totally unaccceptable that people should have to suffer but to suggest that to kill them is an acceptable solution is rediculous |

| Euthanasia already exists in hospitals. But it's known as a "morphine drip to keep the patient comfortable". |

| Watch your mother or father or one of your children lay suffering......dying....i n agony.........knowing there is nothing you can do to ease their pain, to help them cross over, to let them know it's ok to let go. Watch this and THEN tell me Voluntary Euthanasia should NOT be allowed. If you can say it then you are an unfeeling uncaring selfish human being! |

how many of us live in a kennel or p00p on the lawn? So we put the dog down cause it was too expensive to fix or provide comprehensive pain relief, that does not mean that we haul out the .22 if granny gets a cough. |

Okay peanut! let me tell you a story, about the old man wanting me to leave him propped up with his .270 so he could do the job himself. Its people like you without the brain to have a reasonable debate and just maybe move the world forward that are selfish human beings |

| There is a big difference in my mind to "existing" and "living". A person in a long term vegetative state or long term coma with no prospect of recovery may exist but is it living? By continuing a persons existence and against their expressed desires is deferring the inevitable just to satisfy selfish aims. |

If you have gone through this then I am truly sorry. But there is absolutely no reason this should have happened. Even when a person is at home dying the doctor will prescribe all the necessary medication to ensure there is no pain.
It's such a very sad situation. Extremely emotional and draining, I know because it has happened to me on 3 occasions in the last 2 years. |

I have seen close relatives die slowly and can see why atheists believe in it,but even then it is a dangerous precedent to set
If Bob Brown and the pro death lobby would just focus as much attention and political effort on seeking solutions instead of headlines, demand advances in pain control, demand funding for disease research, demand better respite care facilities, demand more support for those who want to pass away at home....then maybe something good could be achieved |

My God.
Obviously this poster has never been in REAL pain, or had to watch a beloved one suffering the agonies of a slow death.
Prolly never loved anyone, either.
Poster, YOUR time *will* come. |

| damfill a person suffering a terminal disease goes through a complete range of emotional responses, at the moment of diagnosis they have no prospect of recovery, the normal anger, greiving, denial, acceptance phases are reached and passed, at several points they may want to end their life. In the case of my father he got beyond that and with the help of pain control was able to give us some precious gifts, insight and wisdom, nothing was left unsaid, nothing was left unfinished, he was calmer and more insightful than ever in his life and died in his own bed...had he chosen euthanasia? |

Just looking at the title of this thread...
it wouldn't be euthanasia if it wasn't voluntary, hehe. :)
