Maybe the reaon they’re bawling is they’ve already been outmanoeuvred. Take a look on the Irish Council for Bioethics site at http://www.bioethics.ie/. There’s a report from a massive consultation on living wills which is halfway to law already as far as I can tell, and which has settled many of the Irish legal questions ready for other change.
Usual shite from ‘faith groups’ amongst the many consulted, but their arguments haven’t impressed anyone who matters and things are fairly flying along quietly towards change.

Come on, I think that one was fairly predictable: he clearly didn’t know quite how backward they are over there. They only recently made contraception legal after all.

I really try to avoid wishing ill upon anyone but the anti-euthanasia lot, every one of them deserves to die in agonising pain as penance for the pain that they have inflicted on others. I think it is highly significant that their strategy, in this case and in others, is to avoid the matter being discussed at all. They clearly understand that they would lose if this issue was freely and openly discussed and so they are forced to resort to tactics such as this.

I would really like someone to ask these people who are anti-euthanasia and cite ‘playing god’ and ‘only god should decide when you die’ whether they would be willing to go into a hospital and switch off the life-support machines of people and all the baby incubators for them all to die because the Dr’s are ALL playing god in these cases. Without the *artificial* support they would die.

If they refused then they are being hypocrites.

I wonder if there will be any coverage of this in our newspapers, perhaps along the lines of “how dare these protesters call OUR BOYS murderers!”
If 15-20 attention seeking idiots in Luton gets loads of coverage, shouldn’t this also deserve equally outraged coverage? Or will they completely ignore it, like they did with the 1,000 or so protesters in Northern Ireland demanding an end to the resent reprise of sectarian violence?
