Agreed - outlawed here too. I think that only the Dutch have legalised it so far... But they legalise just about anything.
And in any case, before she fell in the coma, the girl expressed the wish not to be kept on machines, should it come to that.

Now, after her father went through hell in proving that there is no chance she can wake up again, they have finaly started to gradualy stop her feeding, and in effect perform euthanasia. But... The Catholic church, along with the neo-fascist prime minister Berlusconni started their usual shit about the "sancity of life", and are trying to pass laws that would prevent euthanasia.
Opinions? Mine is that they should let her family decide. |
