I guess the question is what is preserving life artificially.

[Politicalkiddo]

You can live with dignity. You can’t die with it.

[Busko]

Lead by example.

[Darksheare]

Great, I’m sure he’ll lead by example and begin with himself!

Idiots like him usually want others to die instead.

Mr. Tutu (what a silly name, by the way): Can you PLEASE assist Mr. Mugabe then?

[Sherman Logan]

As usual, the article conflates artificially extending life with assisted dying. They are two very different things.

As in not hooking someone up to the ventilator versus giving them a lethal dose of painkiller.

For the most part, the campaign is waged against the strawman of people being forced to be hooked up to machines against their will. There are few if any people who support this.

But the strawman campaign, with the eager support of the media, continues, and before you know it we have doctors deciding who is too unhappy and quietly killing them, as in the Netherlands.

Very difficult to have an honest debate on the issue when one side is determined to be dishonest about their goals, and the media is determined to help them do so.

You first, holy man.

[hal ogen]

I wonder if someone will “assist” this marxist clown soon.

[Paleo Conservative]

He should lead by example.

[JewishRighter]

Dear Tutu:

You first.

[Jack Hydrazine]

He’s just another death-worshiping Marxist in clothed in religious garb.

[bgill]

I’m guessing he, like the rest of them, isn’t stepping to the front of the line.

[lurk]

Of course he does. With an AK 47.

For some reason, I can imagine Tutu, with a maniacal expression on his face, strangling an old lady in bed while laughing. Possibly using his clerical collar to do so.

Desmond Tutu: I support assisted dying (With a tapanga or a burning tire around the neck).
