Default Euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke says get on his ship to Die



Australian euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke holds up a plastic "Exit" bag.
That Photo is out of Date.
Now it is a Drink that gives you the Exit.



"We're talking about rational adults. They should have that option and when people have that option they stop worrying about it.
Elderly folks stop worrying about it and they actually live longer, so we need to have some way of giving people access to choice."

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-...e_Right_To_Die


He was on Sky News saying Adults
should be able to board his ship.


I guess it could be called the Down Under Death Ship.

Fair enough. It's up to people what to do with their lives, even if it means ending them.

Like many things in life this is a choice issue and I dont believe anyone should be denied the right to choose what is right for their own life or body.

He had a Talk in Bournmouth
and loads of Old Folks were happy
to visit Dr.Death.
(well thats what the Bloated BBC just called him)

Some even paid extra to see him in Private

It was held in a Private Hotel
with Worldwide Media buying Tea.


No Bag over your head
just a simple Drink you can buy.
A better way to go
as jumping on Rail Lines and the like is not fair to
others.

I can't grasp how other people can take issue with euthanasia - it's a choice. There are, in every case I can think of, always valid reasons for a person wishing to be euthanised, normally because they're terminally ill and will live a poor quality of life if they continue living. Why would anyone want to oppose that? It's cruel to deny someone that opportunity - regardless of "morals", it's surely worse to make someone suffer than to let them kill themselves!?

It is the Church people
moaning that someone could be down
and then do it.


But that is Bollocks

But that is ********
But then that would be classed as suicide; euthanasia (I'm fairly sure I'm right in saying this, but correct me if I'm wrong someone!) is a service that people pay for, so for someone to go to the extent of paying someone to euthanise them; would imply that they're not just "down" but very serious about the whole thing? Religion seems to oppose everything based around choice.
