| Message | We will definitly support the CCU in its aim to ensure the right to life in Likatonia. Choice is not always desirable, and this is one circumstance where it definitly isn't right to choose. |

| Message | Wouldn't the CPL and CCU agree that 'life' becomes an 'obligation', rather than a 'right' - once you make it compulsary? What about individuals who wish to self-induce euthanasia? |

| Message | There's no need and no possible way to punish someone for suicide, however, we should restrict and eliminate suicide as much as possible, the same with euthanasia. We are able to punish those would would be co-conspirators in such an act, and we should. |

| Message | I'm a little distressed to see the alleged 'left-wing', 'liberal' and 'libertarian' parties abstaining on a core 'freedoms' issue. I would have to assume, and urge, votes against this bill, from those who ally themselves to a 'personal freedoms' manifesto. |

| Message | We need to do something about turnout, this result was incredibly poor, in terms of turnout, our elected representatives should be ashamed of themselves for failing to partake in this vote. |
