Annex Canada

[Northwestcoug]

There are some things in there that I don't like, but I think there is a place for euthanasia. Having seen both my parents suffer through painful drawn out deaths, I've come to accept that for some people euthanasia may have merit.

I don't like it being an option for mental health issues.

That is the hugest controversy, without a doubt. But other than that, it's very similar to the US states that allow euthanasia.

Unless you factor in abortion, eh?

Those fetuses aren't choosing to die. How is that at all relevant to assisted suicide?

[falafel]

I am not sure you do either. When a country is promoting it so heavily and you have posts like shown above, I tend to think this is being pushed at a level beyond them “just” electing to die. They are already surpassing Netherlands. Meaning the value of life and steps for approval to take their own life seems to be much easier.

Okay, you "tend to think". That sounds like significant evidence.

The bolded part undercuts your point. They are choosing to do this. Who are you to criticize their choice?

You said:

Canada (or "we", somehow) don't kill people for inconvenience.

"We" kill people for convenience all the time. What is that old saying? "The road to self-realization is paved with a million tiny corpses."

Of course this is a separate issue, which is why I said "unless you...". But it is relevant to the general point. Both liberal abortion laws and MAID happen when we cheapen the value of life.

You are injecting an irrelevant argument into a very targeted discussion. I get your point, but I don't see the relevance to the argument that people are choosing to end their own lives, not choosing to end the lives of their unborn children. I'm not sure what your point adds to the greater discussion.

I explained the relevance.

I explained the relevance.

And I don't think it is relevant. Okay, carry on. Thanks for the response.

Do we need an Annex Cuba thread, given Trump said "I do believe I'll have the honor of taking Cuba."

Yeah, probably. Then that could be the place we post about it ut all the things we detest about Cuba.

Its a great honor. And it will be his great honor to "do whatever he wants" with it.

Not when you take into consideration the state of mind of the indivisible outside influences in making that decision.

JL pointed a case where parents went for some foo and came back to it all be signed and a done deal.. WTF? Rush to to kill and pounce when others against are not around to be involved.
