a doctors mantra, is DO NO HARM, keeping someone living with the most incredible pain & disability is DOING HARM

Proud to be Dutch. We care for the autonomy of the person, as it should be.

I wish it was more heavily addressed that the Slippery Slope argument IS a logical fallacy. Great debate though!
-
Singer is one of the clearest philosophers out there.

Amazing debate.

Should the government have the right to prevent two consenting adults from entering into a contract (assuming the contract does not bring great harm to others)?

the most fantastic thing is that when a person wants to have stronger pain medication with the knowledge that death will come quicker is more humane

Sir Terence David John "Terry" Pratchet, produced a documentary, it was an insight into people's choices to euthanasia

Why is the short little guy constantly sniffling?

euthanasia, I have never known it to be any less that a last decision
-
Why should the fact that the culture I am embedded in informs what I value and informs what sort of life I regard as valuable, a condition which it would seem no one can escape, undermine the idea that I have a sufficient degree of autonomy. In fact, being so embedded would seem to be rather a condition for achieving autonomy.

my grandmother, grandfather & two aunties under went volunteer euthanasia in the early 1970's onward, their bodies their choice

At 3:00... So does Singer think abortion is wrong? In abortion you take someone's life without him/her requesting it, right?
