JimmyH:My issue is that they are harassing (and bordering on intimidation) old people who have done nothing more than, in essence, attend a meeting where the law and various matters related to it are discussed. Which, in my view, is pretty much a political meeting rather than something more nefarious.
Well, there's a bit more to it than that.
Firstly, I have an issue with law enforcement acting in such a heavy-handed manner to suppress free speech and open political discussion.
Completely agree. The little that has been reported sounds like a terrible way to approach these issues.
I really do hope the relevant experts for New Zealand are working on this issue. The current situation is not a good one.
There is a relatively small percentage of the population who will encounter medical circumstances which necessitate the possibility of this choice being something they will contemplate, and there needs to be a solid ethical framework in place for that.
There should be no confusion between ethical euthanasia chosen in very limited circumstances, and other things for example.
