Hard-Luck Henry said:There's a debate taking place in the British House of Lords at present, on the subject of assisted suicide. Because of the the special position of religious groups within British society, the 29 unelected "Lords Spiritual" are entitled to speak and vote on the issue. These seem reasonable enough people, well educated and compassionate. They argue that, whilst they can understand how it must feel for the parents of a terminally ill child, or an elderly victim of disease, life "is a gift from God, and only he can decide when the time is right to end it."
Let us be thankful that there are still rational folks with morals and values left in this world. My hat's off to the British House of Lords. Perfectly valid argument on their part.
