I've been following this story for a while now, and I'm disappointed in the result. I know this goes against a lot of people, but I agree with euthanasia. In the circumstances I know I would want to die with dignity and leave my family only good memories of me, not of years spent struggling to cope with me as a burden. Maybe this is selfish, and if it is, I apologise. I heard a quote from a woman with spinabifida on the radio, and she said that if Diane Pretty was undigified in life then so was she, and should she be put out of her misery too? I think the difference is that she was in full control of her actions and voice. Mrs Pretty can bearly talk and has very little quality of life. Surely if we allow the choice of abortion we should allow the choice of euthanasia too?
The dutch system (from the Voluntary Euthanasia Society) sets out 10 strict guidlines (here) and this works. Why would it not therefore work here?
