Combined with a pic of Lecretia Seales, the beautiful poster girl for
assisted suicide, your headline Thousands want say on euthanasia (August
12) implies, as euthanasia is illegal, that thousands want euthanasia.
They most emphatically do not. Three to one of the 1800 submitters to the
petition for an inquiry oppose euthanasia. What’s wanted is analysis, but going
by your article it seems we’re not going to get it.
You say David Seymour’s bill is likely to “languish indefinitely”. The euthanasia
petition “demanded” the committee examine public opinion into ending lives which
are “unbearable”.
Spare us the plaintive violins, and opinion pieces masquerading as
reportage. We may as well read the Women’s Weekly.
