Yay! Ethics controversy

Posted by lysergy on June 19, 2008

Just saw this news article. Two people in NSW were convicted of manslaughter for the assisted suicide of friend suffering from Alzheimer’s. I like ethics so I thought it was interesting. I guess I’m probably vaguely in favour of euthanasia, but I’m just not sure that it can be regulated in a way that is consistent and fair. Convicting the women with manslaughter is probably a bit harsh though…
