Quote of the Week
"Assisted suicide is ethically wrong because it denies the presence of human dignity, the concept that underpins human rights legislation. Being dependent on others does not remove dignity. We do not think of a baby as having less dignity than an adult, despite he/she being totally dependent on his/her parents. Similarly, a person with a terminal or chronic illness has no less dignity than anyone, but society needs to show this. "
—Gordon Macdonald, Public Policy Officer for Care Not Killing Scotland, in "The unnecessary dangers of assisted suicide," Scotsman, July 29, 2008.
