| Message | Mr. Speaker This is a outrageous violation of the basic rights of the hutorian people. People that have deadly illness to should be able to die if they want to. It is a right for someone not to suffer uselessly, it is a right for someone to be able to die in dignity. More, the Federalist Party have the audacity of calling their bill ''Dignity in Life Act'' while this bill is nothing more than a deprivation of human dignity. Tell me, where is the dignity of having to live trought months and months of pain for no reason whatsoever? Where is the dignity being unable to move and feeling like a burden for months before dying? -Jordan Ryan Senator and former minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Is Minister Ryan saying that death is a basic right? That seems utterly ridiculous, we cannot uphold simultaneously the right to life and the right to death. Either we value human life as something that should be preserved or we deny it's value. Minister Ryan cannot have it both ways and personally I would rather uphold the fundamental value of human life rather than discard it like a piece of unwanted trash. In addition to Minister Ryan's baffling denial of the value of human life he claims that the name for this bill is contradictory to it's outcome. However, this is simply not the case. Who has more honor, dignity and courage a man or woman who valiantly fights a battle in which the odds are stack against them and they lose or the person who gives up at the first sign of trouble? Where is the dignity in cowardice? Where is the dignity in ultimate surrender? For me the answers to these questions are obvious, the person who fights has more dignity, there is no honor in cowardice and there is no courage in ultimate surrender. Furthermore, the current law is highly ambiguous what if a doctor consents to euthanasia of a patient suffering from depression? Should we just allow this assisted suicide? It seems apparent that this law fosters a disregard for human life and perpetuates a viewpoint in which it is better to quit than seek solutions to the physical and mental aliments of the Hutorian people. Let us seek cures, treatments, and solutions not death and surrender. Senator Janet Beckman (F-AD) Federalist Senate Leader |
