I'm sorry for interrupting. I haven't posted to this thread because I
believe 'mercy-killing' has been carried out by the medical profession
since Hypocrates was a lad and nothing much is going to change it.
I have a problem with this group of people, 'the majority', that keep
making all these sweeping decisions for me. Where do they live?
What are thier names?
With all the travel I do around Australia I have yet to bump into
anyone that has been asked an opinion on this issue (or dare I say
it, gun control). Not one person.
The media must like the pro argument I feel. The little poll question
was delivered with a 'caring' smile and was not worded;
"are you in favour of the mass slaughter of hospitalised
Australians..... YES/NO"
