Debate over euthanasia in Australia

from the desk of Paul Russell: Paul and Philip Nitschke - debate in Adelaide: Pro-lifer Paul Russell recently debated Australia's Dr. Death. He said, "Euthanasia and assisted suicide legislation cannot be made safe. What we’re talking about is legislating to allow people to kill other people. Unless you’re posing a serious and present threat to my life, I can’t kill you. That’s a good thing. We all enjoy this protection in law equally, every one of us.
But, now we’re saying that it’s okay for someone else to kill you. That is the fundamental issue: we will be making an exception to the Criminal Code that changes the laws on homicide. That is serious stuff. We’d be creating a right for someone else to kill us or, to put it another way, a right to be killed."
