If the elections go like I think they are then the entire membership of D.U. might well qualify for this service, maybe they can come over on a boat and sit 12 miles out to offer their services to them cheaper?

Isn't this the same "group" that recommended drowning "the thirsty?"

Depression is treatable, it is NOT a terminal illness.

But you see, it's an unbecoming trait in an Ubermensch....

**Depression is treatable, it is NOT a terminal illness.**

Absolutely!

Depression is treatable, it is NOT a terminal illness.

I am sure this group couldn't care less.

"The Swiss suicide organization that has helped to kill at least 54 British clients ---is in a test case in the country’s Supreme Court arguing that people suffering from depression or who are “tired of life” should be able to legally use the facility to end their lives."

How such an atrocious scenario could ever be seriously considered by any Court is beyond me. "Assisted suicide" has crossed over the line into premeditated murder. This is a sign of the darkness and hopelessness that humanity feels as a result of the faithlessness that pervades the West in these times.

this article should interest the managed care companies in the U.S. and Medicare part D plans, which have to spend a lot of money for meds to treat depression. i think this approach could really cut expenses, raise profits, and help the national economy.
assisted suicide will soon become the "treatment of choice for depression".
however, the greedy pharmaceutical companies and the mental health lobby will probably fight this, because it will threaten their profits.

My team lost.

I'm so depressed!

Hey! Wait a minute guys! I'm not THAT depressed!

[x_plus_one]

people suffering from depression or who are “tired of life” should be able to legally use the facility to end their lives.

SAM-E is available over the counter and is the best happy pill around.

More creative ways to get to zero population

[FJ290]

Unbelievable! This is sending a horrible message to anyone who suffers from depression. Basically telling them their life has no value. Depression can be treated. Why would any government even consider such a measure?

"Following the movement’s strong anti-Catholic sentiments, Minelli blamed “religion” for stigmatising suicide, attacking this “stupid ecclesiastical superstition” against suicide and euthanasia."

Thank God someone has the fortitude to speak out against outrageous practices and the culture of death.

[BykrBayb]

The culture of death is already pushing to be allowed to euthanize people who are not terminal, and do not want to be euthanized. Terri Schiavo and Haleigh Poutre are just a couple of the better known victims. But there are many, many more.

"Depression is treatable, it is NOT a terminal illness."

Thank you! My husband of fiftenn years suffers from depression. He's totally fine, and after a four year battle, he's on meds that work for him, and he's also changed aspects of his life that help with his "weird brain chemistry." (No booze, getting enough sleep, eating well, exercise, etc.)

I'm all for socialists/liberals wanting to "off" themselves. Can I, in clear conscience, actually allow them to do it? Unfortunately, no.

“We should accept generally the right of a human being to say, ‘Right, I would like to end my life’, without any pre-condition, as long as this person has capacity of discernment.”

Satan could not say it any better were he whispering in the ear of the discouraged. What a sad cynical philosophy about the value of each life to the collective body and soul of all mankind.

There is no slippery slope! Nothing to see here -- only compassion and caring! /s
