During the consultation, McDonald said that the age limit for assisted suicide consent should coincide with the age when children are allowed to decide which parent to live with after a divorce. Children older than 12 are typically consulted in Scotland's custody battles, with exceptions occasionally made for younger children deemed mature enough. Disgusting.

Health secretary Nicola Sturgeon said she was against assisted suicide, and noted she was not convinced that a law granting immunity to doctors killing their patients could be adequately modified to safeguard against abuses. Why don't they try it on prisoners who are already sentenced to die for their terrible crimes. No doubt some of them don't want to live anymore. /sarc

Don’t kid yourselves, this will pass eventually. Nothing ever gets better but things continue to worse and worse. It’s a bottomless pit of depravity and humanity will not be able to lift itself up.

When the state picks up the costs of health care, the state will be more than happy to help you kill yourself, particularly if you are ill and are going to rack of a lot of medical expenses.
Follow the money. This is not about rights. This is about efficiency.

McDonald suggested that Scottish doctors already underhandedly administer lethal amounts of painkillers to suffering patients with the understanding that the patient wishes to die. "I think some doctors are happy that that area of ambiguity should remain," she said, "but other doctors would rather be protected by the law." Happens in the US all the time. My father's doctor very carefully told my father how much of his medicine he should NOT take because it could kill him and also told my father that the pills would be useless if be became too ill as he wouldn't be able to swallow them. My father died a peaceful death unlike the agony that preceded it.

Dear Margo - any time you want you can run a garden hose from the tailpipe of your tiny car to the cabin. Put an audio book version of “Dreams of My Father” on and do us all a favor. Just don’t put too much petrol in the tank, I’m sure you don’t want to leave one last big carbon footprint.

So your father’s doctor committed malpractice, that DOES NOT make it right.

Right in my eyes, my father's eyes and the eyes of the Lord. What is RIGHT is not decided by popular opinion or selfish desires, it is decided by God and He said very clearly:
Thou shalt not kill.

This sounds like he wants doctors to kill young children who are suffering from depression. Even the life of a child is deemed no longer worth it in this brave new world.This is a level of evil that is simply unimaginable and this is coming from an elected official. We can understand why evil can be done out of hatred but this is pure and unadulterated evil done in the name of freedom and compassion. The way I see it, there is no greater depravity than this. This is the very bottom of the abyss.

Leviticus 20:10 If there is a man who commits adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. (NASB ©1995)

There is a huge difference between capital punishment and taking an innocent life, but I’m guessing that you are incapable of understanding it.
I’m curious, are you a new troll or a retread?

But you said "Thou shall not kill". But that is off the topic. We are talking about ending ones own life with dignity. That is not killing.
