| Message | Voluntary Euthanasia is suicide, active euthanasia especially so. We view suicide to be at it's core a highly immoral act, regardless of any other circumstances related to it, and any person assisting in a suicide to be ethically compromised. How would you define sufferring? A condition that will cause death in one year? Ten years? What of a chronic condition causing pain which is not normally terminal? Depression? Which of these is worthy of euthanising the patient? |

| Message | That's up to the patient and the doctor -not me, you, or any other political party. If doctors act irresponsibly they could be stripped of their medical license just as when abusing or mistreatingpatients in other circumstances. |
