Bill: Right to euthanasia
Details
Submitted by[?]: Catholic Peoples Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2053
Description[?]:
| It is necessary to state firmly once more that nothing and no one can in any way permit the killing of an innocent human being, whether a fetus or an embryo, an infant or an adult, an old person, or one suffering from an incurable disease, or a person who is dying. Furthermore, no one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for another person entrusted to his or her care, nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly. Nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action. For it is a question of the violation of the divine law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity. |

| Message | We agree with the AELP and the NFP. If the people are just going to go through antagonizing pain for the last months of their life, they should be allowed to die peacefully. |
| Date | 00:41:01, May 17, 2005 CET | From | Catholic Peoples Party | To | Debating the Right to euthanasia |
| Message | Indeed, these people should die peacefully. Therefor euthanasia should be banned, killing can never be put in the same line as peace. |
| Date | 21:27:42, May 17, 2005 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Right to euthanasia |
| Message | How can you consider pain and suffering until your last moments peaceful. The current law doesn't force people to give up they can be the most hopeless case and still ask to be kept alive. |
