It's clear the initial reporting was inaccurate, so the question now rests in the hypothetical. That Noa's case can be distinguished as having been in...
My guess ( and I could be wrong) is that you over simplify the prohibition against forced medical care in The Netherlands, as I assume there is a way ...
You present this like it's common sense and well thought out, but really it's just you refusing to engage. We don't abort 8 month old fetuses and we d...

I'm more just rolling with the punches as it appears she might not have been euthanized. I can't seem to get a good real life example, but must resort...

The problem rests in trying to distinguish her wishes from her current illness. Her 17 year old mental state could well be temporary, but her decision...
I took your post to question my motives, as if I truly don't care about the traumatized, but I'm just more interested in promoting my brand of conserv...
A very poor post, prattling on about non-existent race based interpretations of Nietzche. Really terrible. The concocted stats were an added touch of ...

This is the dualist's quandary: How does the conscious affect the body and vice versa. I don't think this should lead us to wonder whether rocks have ...
It's not interesting because it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to assert that maybe rocks have experiences, even if you wish to admit their experiences...
