@scalzi your publisher just cancelled my pre-order of the The Last Emperox. Has someone gotten NZ confused with Australia again? (we're the ones with the good Prime Minister).
@feddabonn The trust issue is definitely something to work through, and the bill as it sits needs to change to address it. But that is not a good reason to remove choice from people and enforce control over life and death.
@feddabonn Euthanasia has been well discussed in ethics and philosophy. Take a close look at the motives of those opposed to it and the language they use. Those who want it are asking for a right to choose. Those opposed are asking for power to control and take away choice.
