| Message | Mister Speaker, I urge the members of the Pragmatische Partei to reconsider their position on Euthanasia. As a doctor, I have seen the pointless suffering of many of my patients and the pain of their relatives who have to watch the slow and painful death of their significant other, their child or their brother or sister, who is fighting a fight that can't be won and that could take months or sometimes even years. Could you, honourable members of the PP, bear seeing that? The DAF respects the religious arguments that some parties and individuals have against this form of " legal suicide ", but in this free and secular nation we, the government, should not dictate whether an individual has the right to die or not. The ultimate right of a citizen of this nation is the right to decide over his or her own body: choosing between life and death is also a part of this. Thank you, Mr.Speaker. Nadia Santsavev, Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services for the DAF |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are too weary of examples of angels of death who will trick the sick into taking their own lives. It isn't up to us to decide when a life ends. Tirza Sommer Minister of Justice Leader of the Pragmatic Party |

| Message | Speaker, So the PP agrees with us that it is not up to us, but up to the individual? Or am I understanding you wrong? Besides: This isn't a simple yes/no question and boom: You're dead. This is a process that will take weeks before a life ends. There are enough checks and balances to see if someone really wants to die or not. Nadia Santsavev, Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services for the DAF |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It's no person's decision. It's for a higher power. And if you're party is in power I wouldn't trust that there be enough checks. Nutjobs can always slip through. Tirza Sommer Minister of Justice Leader of the Pragmatic Party |

| Message | Speaker, If a person can't even decide over his own life, then what power does an individual actually have in this society? And what if I'm an atheist? How could you tell me that I can't end my own life because it's up to " a higher power to decide that ", when I don't believe in a higher power? It makes no sense for a pragmatists to say things like this. Nadia Santsavev |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It's not anyone's decision when any other person dies unless it'll save more lives than it costs. Tirza Sommer Minister of Justice Leader of the Pragmatic Party |
| Date | 23:12:08, April 25, 2017 CET | From | Konservative Union | To | Debating the Euthanasia Act of 4200 |
| Message | Mrs. Santsavev, First of all, euthanasia devaluates human life, and it devaluates it extremely. It weakens the society's respect toward sanctity of human life. It varies the value of one's life compared with life of other. And the human life is the imperative, invaluable which we have to protect. Legalization of euthanasia will slowly but gradually cause the creation of involuntary euthanasia which will effect in termination of lives of people deemed as undesirable. We have to combat that and oppose this liberal stance once and for all. Second of all, there are problems of legal nature, as you may know... or actually you may not... since you bring arguments like this up... after graduation doctors swear an oath,one very important oath. Oath in which they swear to never do harm and most importantly they swear not to play a God. You see, termination of a life is playing with God. So you want to violate this oath? Thirdly, legalization of euthanasia will decrease the pressure put on the research of new medicine and new methods in fighting diseases. And with good palliative care euthanasia is not necessary, as palliative care is aimed to help people in constant pain. Mrs. Santsavev you do not have to be a religious person to share humanitarian values. Nils Schillinger, Federal Minister for Healthcare and Social Services (BMGuSD) |
