But you're almost in admiration of how blunt and ballsy this article is. I have no problem with someone being blunt about a subject. This article however is not just blunt, it is shrewdly linking euthanasia with killing over and over again. THAT is why I can't take it seriously

The tone? I'm not suggesting anything. I don't believe in talking in riddles.
The flavor of the replies made so far, in particular by Tribesman seems to indicate that the article is BS.
Now so far i haven't had one reply to state exactly why this article is BS.
1 reply was that it was all about linking to killings, made by you.
Well, correct me if i'm wrong but, isn't that what euthanasia is?
Giving someone the consent to kill.
Assisting someone to die=killing someone.
Voluntary or not.
Blunt as can be.
Now, as for people's stance on pro or anti, well, we are going to disagree aren't we?
And that is why i posted this.
To invite discussion about the topic at hand.
Not to go off on a tangent about wether i posted this because i think it is ballsy and i am apparently glorifying the article because it is written with some gusto.
Glorifying? No.
Liking it? Yes.
Why? Because i am pro life.
That is my belief. I respect other's belief in this matter as well. If we can't have a civil discussion about this topic then that's a shame. Being attacked or confronted about the nature of why i posted this article is somewhat disappointing.
And making reference to religion? I never ever brought religion into this. So, moot.
I am happy to discuss the pros and cons of euthanasia, but i find it's a waste of time to discuss my supposed tone in the last paragraph you linked.
Ok, i have posted the article, you and a few others don't like it, that's fine, i respect that. No dramas. You don't need to like it. Like so many other articles written about subject matter, you are never going to agree fully with one, i know i don't. Heck, i don't fully agree with the article i posted.
But, it resonates with me.
On your challenge of it not making sense about the legalities of euthanasia, ponder this, Premeditated murder is illegal. Euthanasia is premeditated murder. Therefore, euthanasia is as illegal as premeditated murder.
Now, it's late here, i'm happy to retort in more detail, to your concerns/disagreements if needed, that can be arranged tomorrow.
