Haha no thanks:scared:. But i fully support him getting the euthanasia bill over the line despite M barry's attempt slowing the process and drag it out.They will both be remembered for that for very different reasons.One honourable and one despicable imo.
Yes a good article and on the money.
I must admit I like the balance we have in NZ.
Would like more to help poverty but it will not be helped by increasing taxes .
We need to increase economic activity to provide aid(not money) to help lift families-especially kids in adverse circumstances affecting their health and futures .
Banning oil and gas exploration is just one of the many current policies that will backfire.
I guess Jacinda had to pacify the greens
Congrats to d seymour getting this through by a decent majority. Im sure NZ will agree.
Vickers proud after euthanasia vote
Doctors aren't keen to perform it. It goes against their ethics. The palliative care speciallists don't want it either. So the professionals who deal with these issues everyday have been ignored by an MP (and all those who voted for it) who is only in parliament by an accident of MMP.
Much like abortion. The vast majority of the country's abortions are done by a handful of people, bloodsoaked to the elbows. Overseas abortionists have high turnover and suicide rates. Conscience finally gets to them in the end. I wonder whether Seymour has one?
Im speaking for a majority. Long time coming and about time. Nobody but nobody has the right to force someone to suffer. We all want a good death.Also was disgusted at some people pretending they had valid reasons against when they were actually only religious ones, no compassion there.
No not when some one is terminal and their pain cant be managed for example, no place at all.
The Bill has nothing to do with religion. Not one iota. People of a religious persuasion are still allowed to have a view that aligns with their beliefs
That statement may now be written:
People have the ability to maintain a view, & now also make a choice, that aligns with their beliefs, their situation and themselves...
That is the point I am trying to make. If people of religious persuasion and view think that euthanasia is a good thing they can vote accordingly. If they think it is a bad thing they can vote accordingly. (of course there are many other variables at play when people make decisions but that is up to them)
To vote, protest or rally against something, demanding your belief (secular or not) upon others when the outcome does not effect you is the epitome of bigotry.
