STOP BILL C 384 || we are PRO-LIFE!

Aug 16, 2009 22:24

So... pretty much at church, our priest was talking about and making everyone aware of the BILL C 384, a law in Canada which has a possibility of being passed/LEGALIZED in the parliament. Basically what it is, Bill C 384 would legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada ( Read more... )

life, bill c 384, dolls

Uh, I'm sorry, but what you said about Holland is just untrue. I'm from Holland, and I NEVER heard of anyone being afraid of the bill. The rules regarding assisted death are VERY strict, and a doctor can NOT just decide to pull the plug. It's only for people who are suffering from an uncurable disease who want to die in a humane way, without having to suffer so much that the last weeks/days of their lives exist only of pain. People have a right to die here, and I'm very happy I have that choice. I'm not sure if I will take it if I ever have to, but the fact that I can choose is a huge blessing ( ... )

Thank you for your comment and honesty, I'm really taken by this issue and I'm glad you offered your honest opinion about it ( ... )

Thank you for your kind reply- I agree, it's a difficult issue and these kind of things should always be handled with care, and it's good that people feel strongly about it and think it over properly =)

Yes, I agree it would be really sad if elder people would turn to this law only because they are depressed- however, at least here in Holland there's no doctor whatsoever who will agree to perform euthanasia on a such a person. It's not even allowed- that would fall under assisted suicide and is illegal! I don't know the details about the Canadian bill of course, but I can hardly believe it's okay over there to end someone's life just because they're depressed.

This is your journal and you are entitled to your opinion. That being said, I am sorry but I have to say I personally disagree. This is a choice people should have.
I am NOT against people choosing to die if they are in an irreversible, painful sickness and do not want to go on in pain. People should be allowed to chose whether they want to die or not. I find it hard to believe that hospitals would do this without their permission, it sounds like whoever spread the word about this in your church was trying to twist things, just like some people like to twist facts about abortion to scare people into being pro-life. =\

Interesting perspective, thanks for your opinion.

Everybody has beliefs and own morales, so I am glad that you said what you believe is right. Again, I didn't mean to sound offensive in any way, and if I did, I'm sorry about that. And yes if Bill C 384 is passed, then people will have that choice, and so will the hospitals. I don't believe doctors would simply kill patients because of this law, it's just with this bill, they can have the choice to do so, if they think it is for the best. I don't think anyone spread this in my church, it's in the news, "Bill C-384, a Private Members's Bill was introduced by Francine Lalonde (Bloc Quebecois) on May 13, 2009"-- this is information is from a website, so the source is directly from the government.

I simply believe in pro-life, and I stand in my belief....
Thank you for your comment ^_^

I don't think you sounded offensive at all, and you have the right to stand up for things you believe in! \o/
