Yes, Michele, I have. My friend who just died of cancer tried a few such false-hope remedies before he gave up and opted for assisted death.

Are you saying that cancer can survive in an Alkaline body?

87

I do not even know what an alkaline body is, Michele, nor do I care. I am saying that most home remedies for cancer are useless.

This could have been posted in the Canada topic but I didn’t want to detract from our new figure skating rules so I’m posting it here. I totally support this.

Does Canada offer assisted suicide for diabetics? And will you be supporting that if they do offer it?

the article mentions:

“A panel of Canadian lawmakers has called for the country’s assisted suicide program to be extended to minors, even in cases where their parents object to the decision to end their lives.”

iam in favour of adults having the right to end their life, but it gets a bit creepy and insane to me when it involves kids making such decisions when their parents/guardians are opposed

103

I agree with this concern, but I also don’t like the idea of some religious nut parent forcing a kid to suffer for months or years with no hope of recovery because God.

104

So where do you stand on the issue? Who has the right to decide how long a child gets to live?

105

I’m totally fine with what the report recommends:

The report urged the government to amend its law on assisted suicide to make the service available to minors deemed to have “the requisite decision-making capacity.”

Assisted suicide should be available only to “mature minors” whose “natural death is reasonably foreseeable,” the committee said. The government would need to establish standards for assessing a youngster’s capacity to make such a decision

106

So you support the governments rights to choose when a child should die?
