Bill: Euthanasia
Details
Submitted by[?]: Darnussian Freedom 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: May 4055
Description[?]:
| Neither euthanasia nor physician-assisted suicide should be legalized. It is immoral and unethical to deliberately end the life of a terminally ill person (euthanasia), or enable another person to end their own life (assisted suicide). The goal should be compassionate care and easing the suffering of terminally ill people. Legalizing euthanasia could lead to doctor-assisted suicides of non-critical patients. If euthanasia were legalized, insurance companies could pressure doctors to withhold life-saving treatment for dying patients. Many religions prohibit suicide and euthanasia. These practices devalue human life. |

| Message | We disagree with this proposal. Why should euthanisia be murder, especially if consenting? |
| Date | 16:35:57, July 06, 2016 CET | From | The Conservative Party | To | Debating the Euthanasia |
| Message | The Conservative party believe that to end an innocent person's life is murder and therefore immoral. By crossing this moral absolute, the state implicates itself in moral ambiguity and injustice. We cannot see the state allow this practice any longer. |

| Message | Nationalsozialistische Partei, the mere hypocrisy in your campaign is stunning! You devote the nation to religion, and allow euthanasia, while almost all major religion shun on both suicide and murder. Even if you do not consider it murder, it is still suicide, am I correct? |
