Your thoughts on assisted dying?

[Bob]

There's a difference between being terminally ill and being terminally ill in agony with less than six months to live.
Nobody has the right to deny someone the choice.
I'm confident that with subtle amendments the bill will be passed next time in parliament.

1 Samuel 31:
2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically. 4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.”
But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.

Apparently in Canada mental illness alone may soon be enough to receive assistance in dying. There is a ban ending in March for considering mental illness as a sole condition to receive MAID.

I can't see anything changing. I wouldn't agree if that was the case.

The people in question are not fit and well enough to fall on their own swords, they need help and not obstruction.
I believe the median age of people using MAID in Canada is around 77, many of them suffering with terminal cancer.

It's up to the individual to choose and not the family.

Don’t be surprised when the world doesn’t.

God wants people to choose life. The devil wants people to choose death.

God wants people to choose life. The devil wants people to choose death.

People who believe in God and the devil want people to choose life, regardless of how painful and pointless it has become.
People who actually care about people and who don't view everyone as sinners tend to agree with personal choice.

God and his people care about people. As was said very early on, there are better options available for people who are in pain than assisted suicide / dying.

Life can be painful but it isn’t pointless.

People who actually care about people and who don't view everyone as sinners tend to agree with personal choice.

You’re speaking about people who have rebelled against God. I’m sure many of you, even most of you, do care about people. You seek to offer them an ungodly option.
