| Message | While in some circumstances, euthanasia may be acceptable, it shouldn't be seen as a simple matter. Requiring a court order will slow down the process, allowing the requesting party to consider whether they really want it. This bill will eliminate spur of the moment decisions. When a person wants to die, there is hardly any need for hurrying. |
