Of course religion - especially the RC Church - is responsible for powerful opposition to voluntary euthanasia (as well as many more humane and civilised behaviour). All these spurious arguments about 'the sanctity of Life' and the scare mongering about the danger of relatives rushing to bump off their elderly family members is just a smokescreen to perpetuate the dogma of an ancient and less and less useful superstition. I actually heard on 'religious' man on tv (he was an official of some Christian organisation) talking about suffering as being a kind of learning process. And a bishop - on the same programme saying "God does not just want us to be happy - he wants us to be fulfilled." Presumably suffering is an excellent path towards fulfilment. When will these people stop talking about what God "wants" for us (how do they know, anyway? Oh yes, I forgot - the Bible.) and accept that we are evolving human beings, responsible for our own destiny, and that WE can make decisions on what is best for us at any particular time. Oh - just had a thought: Israel is a secular country - perhaps they just believe in INvoluntary euthanasia.

To my mind he is taking what he did a step further in order to make euthanasia the right of every citizen. And then Bush the Dimmer and his Bliar go unprosecuted for the hundreds of thousands they have slaughtered. No sense at all, my friend. XO WWW How courageous of Gosling.

But it also makes no sense why, at this stage, Gosling admitted what he'd done, and on TV at that. (Presumably it all occurred quite some time ago?) There must not have been any inquiry at the time of the guy's death. Very odd. I doubt that his promise to his friend included anything about confessing what he'd done. Agreed – it makes no sense.
