Eric MacDonald Has a Blog
Some of you may be interested in this new blog, called 'Choice in Dying'.
http://choiceindying.com/
As the title suggests, its main purpose is to argue for the right to assisted suicide and, in particular, against religious interference in policies governing this choice. This is a very personal thing to the author, whose wife died at Dignitas of her own choice as her severe MS became too much to bear. Eric MacDonald is an extremely articulate atheist, but as an ex-priest (Anglican) he knows religion from the inside. His comments on Butterflies and Wheels and Why Evolution is True have earned him a personal following among the readers of those blogs. If you are interested in the arguments surrounding assisted dying, or the influence of religion on public policy and personal morality, you might take a look.
