The way of the proud

When it comes to the debate on abortion I am generally in favor, from the perspective of the bearer's right and the belief that humankind has irresponsibly over-reproduced. Yet, convince me that a fetus is human, and I may be willing to reconsider my position from the point of view of common law.

However, when it comes to euthanasia, it is hard to believe there is a viable argument against it. We have no say over our own births, we should have a right to decide when it has been enough.

BBC2 recently aired a documentary on assisted dying. Watch part of it here, and judge as you will. Be warned, it shows a person swallowing a prepared poison and passing away.
