Debbie Purdy wins House of Lords victory to have assisted suicide law clarified

Debbie Purdy, a woman with multiple sclerosis, has won a landmark court case to have the law on assisted suicide clarified. Debbie brought the case against the Director of Public Prosecutions because she wanted to know if her husband would be prosecuted if he helped her commit suicide overseas.

 

Some people would agree with assisted suicide because  people should beable to choose their death and for some patients refusing to take their treament will not hasten  their death so suicide is the only option. Also in some cases being alive is so painful so assisted suicide may be a the answer to unbearable suffering .

Other people would disagree with assisted suicide because some people who lack  care and support may be pushed into assisted death. Also when people decide they want to commite suicide they may not be in the right frame of mind so if someone assists them then its just egging them on to do something which isn’t necessarily the right decision.

I personally think that assisted suicide should remain illegal because of all the reasons above and also who in the remind would help their friend or family member kill themselves ?! Even if someone is in extreme pain most of the time there is medication to treat pain. But as for the cases were medication isnt possible then i could possibly understand why they would want to kill themselves but not assisted suicide.

Black Eyed Peas Are the best?

I think Black Eyed Peas are one of the leading pop group playing today. Why? Their song have always been original. They are an R&B band, but with a difference. Their current album The End has song which is quite upbeat with good rhythm.

What happened to Marias baby’s umbilical cord in Coronatation Street?

Don’t know about you, but watching Coronation Street tonight (3rd July 2009), I thought the unlikely story of Maria having a baby in a shack on a beach, with psycho Tony Gordon as the stand-in mid-wife, was a little far-fetched – even by the Street’s standards. The arrival of the baby swaddled in Tony’s sweaty T-shirt was unpleasant  to watch, but the miracle of the baby being delivered without an umbilical cord and no nasty blood was rather a large oversight.

Did man ever go to the moon?

Conspiracy Theory

There is a classic conspiracy theory that suggest that man never really went to the moon. Indeed, it was all done in a film studio and turns out we were all duped into beliving that the US had achived a miracle.

Arguments for the conspiracy

1. Flag blowing on the moon? What? There is no wind as there is no atmosphere.
2. Wet sand. What? There is no water on the moon.
3. There are no stars in some of the pictures – impossible without any atmosphere/clouds as on earth.

This is an example of quickpress
