I oppose the state telling people when and how to end their life. That socialist Britain would oppose euthanasia doesn’t surprise me one bit.

Me, too. And far too many conservatives think it’s ok to use government for this kind of thing.

Its not about legalising euthenasia, its about protecting the people who make it possible from prosecution for unlawful killing, which is pretty much the state’s job to do in any country....

Socialism fostered the modern euthanasia movement.

Which is a slippery slope fallacy. If the action - legalized euthanasia - does not interfere with the rights of another, the action should be legal, regardless of what it may lead to.

A person is free to shoot himself in the head any time he likes, but the government shouldn’t sanction suicide. These euthanasia laws are really about giving people the right to help OTHER people kill themselves. You want to jump out a window? Fine, I guess. You want to push someone else out a window (albeit with that person’s consent)? You’re going to jail.

I don’t believe it is a ‘slippery slope’ fallicy. Euthenasia hasn’t even been legalised (yet) and already the debate has moved on from a ‘right to die’ to one of a ‘duty to die’. If you follow that path down to its logical destination you will end up in a very scary place indeed.....
To: sinsofsolarempirefan
It is a fallacy, because you cannot guarantee that it will happen, and the threat of what might happen should not bar an action from becoming legal.

I oppose government involvement in personal medical issues. Government has no right to end an innocent life, it also has no right to extend life against the wishes of a dying individual.
If the government is the ultimate arbiter of life and death (as you want it to be), the government has a right to say a baby is not really human and can be aborted. I am both pro-life and pro-euthanasia, either you let the government decide who lives and who dies, or you leave that choice to the individuals involved. I chose the later.
