wonder why the givernment now seeks such an active role
indiscussing the issue of euthanasia, when the western countries
are no longer so interested in the issue. the issue of euthanasia
is somewhat active 5 years ago, so we are 5 yrs behind the western
country.
so excluding the possibility that "euthanasia" is the hot global
discussion topic, is there any reason behind the gahmen's sudden
interest in euthanasia?
The organ trading discussion starts only after the CK Tang
kidney trading case.
If anybody has a link to recent statements from the government,
please feel free to share.
There are several factors to consider. On a bigger scale, the most
important factor I can think of is greying population in Singapore.
In time to come, increasing the budget for medical, health and
hospice home care is inevitable.
On a more personal scale, there is the question of human right (the
right to live and the right to die, murderous or merciful). I’m for
euthanasia by consent.
so do you think that this "revived" interest in euthanasia has
anything to do with Mrs MM Lee staying in a coma?
From my point of view, hardly a political move for the benefit
of the Lees.
