Yet another bond between Bush and Blair. The English used to be so level headed but the Blair years continue to drag them down. The latest episode is the British Medical Association turning back the clock and voting against support for euthanasia after a massive so-called christian assault on their previous neutral or positive position on the issue.
Being quite familiar with the subject from recent family events, I can recognize that sure, the argument that terminal patients are concerned about the impact both emotionally and financially on their family, but that is minor compared to the considerably more powerful argument that each day is pure misery, suffering and agony where the patient wakes up each day wondering if this is the day. I don't see that as a christian value nor do I see any benefit in the continuing suffering of someone who is terminal and has absolutely no chance of recovery if that person chooses euthanasia as an option. Let the Bill Frists of the world worry about their own problems because as we see, they have plenty of them.
How much more is the UK and US going to take from these religious extremists?
