A Plea to the Labour Party – Find Your Spines (Euthanasia).



So now the Labour hierarchy, rank and file, whatever, gutless wonders, are putting pressure on Maryan Street to drop her euthanasia bill from the parliamentary ballot. Please stay brave  and keep it human for the Kiwis you’re representing, Maryan: if this bill is dropped because your party feels it might be too controversial with an election year coming, then your party really only is fit to be euthanised anymore.



Mind you, that such a basic human right to die with dignity in the arms of our loved ones, no one threatened with a jail sentence, is the subject of what is effectively a lottery as to whether it has a chance to become law or even debated, is offensive in itself to all we reasonable, thinking, humane people that have dropped the stone age mysticism of religion, as we once left our toys in the cot and began thinking on our own.

And to the hierarchy in the medical profession and their campaign of speaking out against legalised euthanasia 'on behalf of all' the doctors whom they represent, many who agree with euthanasia; you are closer in your minds to this archaic one of your number, than to a profession that cares about the welfare of its patients. This is a conscience matter: the governing doctor bodies must step aside and let their individual members decide where they stand on this issue. Because like everything, in a free society – yeah right - it’s always about individual responsibility.

This cruel kindy of a country. There needs to be a Western Spring: the occupants of the Fortress of Legislation told to go home, mind their own damned business. Here’s a radical thought: so long as you are harming no one, then do what you damned well like.
