Well, at least you agree with me on the rest of it then.
You managed to only 'pick me up' on one point.
Being taught Euthenasia, voluntary that is, in schools, because those students have elected to study Philosophy.
The parts that i have a problem with is the supposed work shop of this clown's methods, showcasing the different tools at one's disposal to assist in someone's easing out of this world.
Another issue i have with this video and it's showcasing by the so-called intelligent Teachers is that it gives this guy more air time.
As if we haven't had enough of this person already.
So, if you need to study Philosophy, and Euthanasia, voluntary is a part of that, and you need to explore the necessary conditions for someone to be a candidate for voluntary euthanasia and outline the moral cases put forward by those in favour of legalising voluntary euthanasia, then there are other training materials that can achieve this.
Is it necessary to showcase the tools availabale to students and to showcase the machine at work?
Voluntary Euthanasia is unneccessary.
Nor can we ever have enough evidence for us to be justified in believing that a dying person's request for dying is fully competent, genuinly voluntary and soforth.
If society allows voluntary euthanasia, it is my belief that this will send us towards the allowing of other forms of euthanasia.
Including non-voluntary euthanasia.
The line between those two is clearly defined by principles.
I won't get carried away by my own, strong beliefs about what i think of Nitschke or voluntary euthanasia.
However what i will say is that the title of my thread is a concern to me.
The content of this supposed training video or lecture material is dubious and is a poor choice of material.
Teaching someone how to die is teaching a student/child how to put their own spin on wether it's right or wrong to kill someone or not, well....
As for the site being a loony site, hmm, i may call it alternative, nonetheless, loony?
Nah, far from it.
You call it loony because you don't like it? Or the points raised are not to your liking? Or the ways that they are raised are not to your liking?
It matters not.
