Which seems to be very important and it made good time pass for me. I will always give a nice thrust look in to you from my bookmark feed. I don’t actually comment and don’t like to spend time in typing the comment. But here I have to do this because this one deserves a good like.Leslyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277894683555898671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078331897510807942.post-46737583032616893052012-02-03T13:49:35.076-08:002012-02-03T13:49:35.076-08:00Hi Elaine

In all circumstances...?)<br /><br />In any case, you'll appreciate how difficult it would be, if you or someone like you were in a position of power in a medical situation, for patients to assert their autonomy in the face of such blind self confidence. To disagree with you would be ipso facto to display irrationality. <br /><br />And that's the problem. Autonomy depends on the recognition by others of the rationality of one's decision. With contraception, we have a case study of a slippery slope: permission in 1930, obligation in 2012. My worry would be that a similar process will occur with euthanasia. (And your comment might well be taken as supporting that suspicion.)Lazarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716412032074416331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078331897510807942.post-82702861376593620962012-02-03T06:54:58.531-08:002012-02-03T06:54:58.531-08:00Both * are* sensible.Both * are* sensible.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878345911504064113noreply@blogger.com
