Interesting. The pro-euthanisia lobby have got suicide assisted by family or close friends almost permissible. Now they're seeking to broaden the scope.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

Absolutely, if I felt that the situation warranted it.

Having seen various family members suffer and almost be begging to be put out of their misery, if there was something I could do, that they wanted me to do, then I would.

I feel pretty strongly about this. If it called for it, and MF was suffering then I think I would . . .

Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

Even if he wasnt suffering, I could be persuaded and not just MF either.

Just saying like.

where there's chaos, there's cash !

I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

In the old days the olduns would pass away peaceably on a cold winter's night, which seems like a good solution for all concerned.
