New Zealand's Euthanasia Law

Potential Euthanasia law in New Zealand
Encouraging Euthanasia
Profoundly Eye-opening

Might encourage 
All kinds of people
Who had never thought of it before
To accept suicide

Unclear if this law has been passed
A dangerous precedent.
Making suicide common

Making taking your own life
Acceptable
Desirable
Natural

Scary to me 
What this could do
to a society
Where teenagers are
already casually killing themselves

Gershon Wolf May 5, 2019 at 9:32 PM Isn't euthanasia already legal in about 7 or 8 states in the good old US of A?... And I think that you'll see a big uptick in states legalizing it as the millennials come to the fore. Yeccccchhhhhhh! Just one more nail in Western civilization's coffin. Africa, here we come! (Pro-life continent, where the Church is still respected, except by the Muslims, of course). Oh, well. Life sucks sometimes... Stiff upper lip, now. ~ Gershon Caren Krutsinger May 6, 2019 at 4:58 PM I am not as against it today as I was last week as I was PRAYING to DIE on Saturday because struggling to breathe was so difficult, I just wanted it "over". I am getting another side of it in my brain now.

Panagiota Romios May 5, 2019 at 2:14 AM Caren, am sure you know we have physician assisted suicide in CA. People can get the Rx, take it home and just kill yourself. With all the abortions going on, why not knock off the elderly while are it? Hitler did, the world called him a monster. We kill the unborn because we have been sold a bill of goods. Murder is OK? God help us..next comes the handicapped? Gershon Wolf May 5, 2019 at 9:33 PM Snuff happens. ~ Dark humor man Caren Krutsinger May 5, 2019 at 3:12 AM Pretty soon we will find a pillow over our heads, if we sneeze in the back of a church.
