And still, our right-wing politics (in France) still think euthanasia shouldn't be allowed.

Screw this world if you want, but at least let me die before you kill us all.

I think it's time for us to question the belief that everyone in the world can put aside their differences and share the same values.

If I had to guess, I'd say that most of the fear that underlies prediction of catastrophe is fear that we'll never get to that ideal world. Can we imagine a different future, where groups of people form their own local cultural norms and value sets, and we still manage to all live and thrive? I think it's important that we do because that may be the world that we live in.

If that's true, that people really can't live in the same country as those with different skin colors, or accents or religions without blaming their problems on each other, then why wouldn't they just blame people in other countries?

Seems like blaming the foreigners that immigrate and blaming the foreigners that don't, go hand in hand.

It seems like you are replying to an idea about what I said rather than what I said.

You can jump from a cliff if you're tired from this world, but don't ask doctors to do it for you.

[nekgrim]

I don't ask doctors to do it for me, but I'd love my government to have enough humanity to allow me to die without pain.

[SomeStupidPoint]

Why?

Im honestly curious why you don't think that's a service the medical industry should provide. (In particular, to elderly or terminally-ill people.)

What if you are too sick to jump off that proverbial cliff?
