I also oppose capital punishment.<br /><br />In Canada, one of the reasons for outlawing capital punishment was that the Supreme Court decided that it was inhumane to ask some to kill you, whether it be you asking or the state asking.<br /><br />I agree with that decision also.Alex Schadenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649977828342637842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-58895688728159288702014-05-11T08:12:24.176-04:002014-05-11T08:12:24.176-04:00The argumentation used by Nicolas Steenhout agains...The argumentation used by Nicolas Steenhout against legalising “medical aid-in-dying”, can bring me to only one conclusion: it proves that (legal) absence of medical aid in terminating a life (for whatever reason) results in botched executions (wrong medication in wrong dosages and by wrong applications) or failures with assisted suicides. 12 Years of Dutch experience (over 20.000 reported euthanasia cases since 2002) demonstrates the importance of availability of a legal and thus transparent and open assistance by a doctor, when the suffering of the person concerned becomes unbearable for him and not treatable (even by the best palliative care): none of the botches suggested by Steenhout happened, none of the doctors having applied euthanasia reported their act as “violent”. So, his argumentation only supports the opinion of many that transparent, legal physician aid-in-dying (euthanasia) as a patient(!)choice in end-of-life decisions is humane.Rob Jonquière, Amsterdamhttp://www.worldrtd.netnoreply@blogger.com
