However I am struggling to see the link between this issue and one of the worst atrocities committed my mankind. The Nazi's eugenics programme was tailored to produce a master race or the perfect nation. This on the other hand is about giving those who have decided themselves that their lives are not worth living the chance to end them. I fail to see how in our modern democratic society the former will turn into the latter. I believe the real problem lies in where do you draw the line? If you allow a person with MS the right to commit suicide then do you also allow a manic depressive the same right? Or do we give certain illnesses greater priority over others. I can assure you that as somebody who has suffered from mental illness in the past this should not be the case. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
