Its everybody's right to choose to take their own life. Just because some bible says otherwise is just pathectic.

It's an incredibly tricky subject.
In extreme situations where people are perhaps terminally ill or completely immobilised by their condition then yes, I don't think a person should be forced to "exist" every day in misery.
Where do you draw the line though?

I knew of this woman rotting away with cancer, a massive tumor coming out of where it should not of been. Pain killers had no effect anymore, she was in a living hell in absolute agony with no chance of recovery and only given days to live. Should she have no been given the right to end her suffering? A really emotive subject that, and has put me a bad mood just thinking about douchbags who govern over other peoples personal ships of destiny. A dog gets put down out of kindness, but yet its murder for a human to put out of their misery? Yeah right.
in theory I agree for terminally ill people who still have capacity to make that choice but once you make it law it opens the floodgates for people like ian brady to argue that you are then denying him his lawful right to kill himself.

thats very true. and i dont think it will be made legal because like you say where do we draw the line, i think you should be allowed to if you want, after all its your life. but then there is the case like ian brady, if i wanted to die could i just go on a huge killing spree then once put in jail say naa cant be bothered with this just kill me

Hardly mate. He can't argue that he isn't allowed to pop out to the pub or go for a walk in the park just because others have the right to do so. The same argument would apply in the case of euthanasia.
People like him have (almost) no rights.
it becomes a human rights issue once it becomes law.

And? Contrary to what people think, we are not bound by the ECHR. Brady would be told to sod off by any Home Secretary that valued their job.
then he would take it to the european courts of human rights mate..............not saying it's right but sadly it's true.
sorry just read your post properly ha ha

well taking this [Poor language removed] out of it, it would still cause a lot of trouble, the line has to be drawn somewhere but where though,
Pretty close to yes, but not quite, so voted undecided. It's a very, very difficult moral, legal and ethical area.

Not really. Scum child murderers and rapists etc in prison should get no rights. Law abiding citizens do. If any of my immediate family was in agony and no chance of recovery, I pity the moralistic c**t who dare to quote scripture at me.
