  1. Who doesn't support health care. MAID is not putting people to death, it is allowing them to die on their own terms
  2. So now it is about money? If that is the case, you should be i favour of MAID. Much cheaper than that treatment you go on about.
  3. MAID is not a substitute for care but care has its limitations. You control your life as you see fit and respect the right of others to do the same.
  4. I'm not interested in destroying anything but I am happy that I can make my own decisions about by my own life whatever they may be.
  5. Yes, its unfortunate you can't impose your will on the personal decisions of others.
  6. No it isn't, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Columbia. It is not about what I want, it's about what people want for themselves.
  7. Well, that's why people are assessed before it is made available to them. You can make up whatever you want but you would rather people visit a corner drug dealer and get a lethal dose of fentanyl then die alone and in despair by suicide than reach a considered decision with people who love them and die peacefully with those same people at their side.
  8. You or I are not qualified to make a blanket judgement. Every case needs to be assessed on its own merit. You act like health professionals want to kill people. They don't and no one can make them. Capital punishment is just killing.
  9. She was up for re election next year so as long as he picks a temp who won't be running, it seems to be the right thing to do.
  10. Only to a point and even then it can mean drugging them to the point of insensibility but what do you really care what happens to them as long as they conform to your Judeo-Christian beliefs. Their beliefs are of no consequence to you.
  11. So people must suffer painful hopeless lives because you think their death by choice is worse than society putting someone to death. Yet you still claim killing is wrong. What you really want is for people to live or die on your terms. But I'm the NAZI because I think people should be masters of their own fate. Like NAZIS were known for giving people choices.?
  12. MAID is allowing someone to die with dignity on their own terms. NOT YOURS. My son is a 20 year police officer. I have plenty of issues with our bail, parole and sentencing system but I am still anti capital punishment because I think it is barbaric.
  13. I'm not comfortable with this part either but I don't really know enough about mental illness to have an informed opinion.
  14. MAID is not killing someone you don't like. You aren't anti killing people, you just want to decide who should be killed. Yes, as long as it is someone else who is suffering you can continue to preach.
  15. You make your choices and leave other's choices to them. Their choice doesn't affect you or anyone else. As long as it is someone else who is suffering, it is your job to make sure it continues. Aren't you the guy who wants to bring capital punishment back? Hypocrite.
  16. We do not have to consider what the Bible has to say, we have freedom of religion and freedom of choice. I find it interesting that it is so many of the anti vax, my body my choice crowd trying to control the choices of others. As long as it is someone else who is suffering. Right?
  17. The mother of a good friend of my daughters was horribly injured when her vehicle was hit by a semi on the Coquihalla connector. She barely survived and was so badly injured she was never able to leave the hospital and in constant pain. Eventually she applied for MAID and it was granted. You would have left her suffering and pumped full of opioids to kill the pain for the rest of what life she had left. And yet you think yourself ethical and compassionate and helping her is murder..
  18. Interesting how all these free dums people are so hot to control other peoples choices.
  19. Another loss for the Orange Loser. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-no-delay-ny-civil-trial-1.6981862
  20. I dunno, join the club and make up whatever you want.
  21. Parliament gave them the job, not the government. The speaker is not part of the government.
  22. It does if you keep hanging around the wrong people. You become known for the company you keep.
  23. He's mostly right. When you look at who is still using it, the US is in mostly bad company. South Korea still has it but is one of the countries that hasn't executed anyone in the last 10 years. Being mistaken doesn't make someone a liar. That word gets used far too much around here.
