What is a trans person and what are they doing? I know a lot about this area. There isn't a coherent consistent definition of trans and it is now a le...

That is great and an exact explanation of what my story was about.

Have you heard of a radical feminist going on a shooting spree? Radical feminism maybe damaging in its own way that I can accept. But we are talking a...

I view her as a big villainess who has encouraged the rejection of reality and the mutilation of bodies. Apparently she may have had her own breasts r...

Women carry a child to term and give birth and are the primary care givers of children. It makes sense that women and mens biology and psyche are diff...

What doesn't follow from what? I don't know what you mean by a stereotype here. Most sub Saharan Africans are black. The white people living there are...

The argument is no and that is why it is unpaid work. I would wager that most people that watch super hero films are adults and that they have some cu...

Statistics would disagree. I don't think the statistics about the number of women working in care and the amount of men in prison are caused by stereo...

Popular culture. I grew up as a male around young males of my age and older and I was badly bullied physically and otherwise. Completely different exp...

How does one realise their autonomy? They can't choose their genes, their parents, their country of birth, their sex and so on on. A lot of theorists ...
December 27, 2022 at 23:39
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a definition of it here. Listening to debates on this on You Tube people used the autonomy argument there but faile...

I think if you are something you don't need to identify as it. For example if you are black you are black and you won't become white by identifying as...

I think people have failed to defend the notion of autonomy. The people who have the most autonomy are the people with the most interventions and assi...

Where did I do that? My dad worked with the Elderly for decades. I had a discussion with him and he talked about his experiences of working with the e...

Here is an example of a Doctors survey from 2009 UK. "There are many other (non peer-reviewed) surveys of British doctors' views in the public domain,...

Can you provide any evidence for this claim? I can provide evidence to the contrary. My Dad was a geriatric nurse for the largest part of his working ...

Statistics please. There are quick accessible ways to potentially painlessly kill yourself if you are able bodied. And if you don't fear death. If peo...

No you are throwing millions under the bus and the integrity of the health and care systems and the value of life due to your desire to have someone h...

You would have interfered because you want assisted suicide legalised which would mean I could have been drawn to an assisted suicide before knowing I...

This is the comment that triggered me to eventually start this thread.
December 25, 2022 at 01:57
I am just looking for evidence people value human life. I started this thread with examples including a 44 year old and 24 year old who had assisted s...
December 25, 2022 at 01:28
I see this as hyperbole. In the case of Graham and Dyanne Mansfield you cited earlier "In evidence from Professor Sikora, by the 23rd March 2021, her ...
December 25, 2022 at 01:18
I do not live in the US of A. Assisted suicide is illegal in the UK. It doesn't follow logically or causally that the forbidding of assisted suicide l...

Not causing someone's death and devaluing life. Not causing suffering but not ending life. Not making the value of life dependent on one subjective in...
December 24, 2022 at 22:20
I am basing that on this thread and people contributions, you are linking people who don't want assisted suicide to people who support the death penal...

One palliative care option is that people can be put into a coma until they die. In what sense?
December 24, 2022 at 22:10
It is a fallacy to infer that people who are against assisted suicide support the death penalty. And it is poisoning the well or guilt by association....

That is what happens when you live in a society and in a democracy. You are being protected against those who would do you harm by a police and army a...
December 24, 2022 at 21:40
If someone intends to kill themselves they consider their life has no more value so society does not have responsibility to agree with that, like I sa...

I'm beginning to think the pro suicide people lack values and morals. The only thing I am getting is the eagerness to allow someone to die. Nothing ab...

I have found some bible quotes. Take into consideration the bible is contradictory and long and can be used to support many different positions. "Mast...

That's the problem isn't it. Someone has to lose and we want society to run on our own terms. But I don't see why you would trust the government to a ...

Maybe you can find a few, to defend the idea that religion is the problem. The evidence is that religious people can be humane and find solutions and ...

I am surprised you asked this. A lot of peoples jobs are part of their identities and a valued part of their life. Finding out someone is a nurse coul...

The question probably is to what extent should one influence the other. I think it is probably impossible to force someone to think something abut you...
December 24, 2022 at 00:06
This is the problem. You might not want to hurt someone by contradicting them but you also might not want to lie. It becomes a problem when you are fo...

I would be labelled agender by someone else. It is a bit like atheism relying on theism. I can't make sense of the non grammatical form of gender. I t...

That is a good point but I was talking about personal identities as opposed to imposed identities, social identities and stereotypes. While there is a...
December 23, 2022 at 22:38
Which could be said for a range of identites. What are the ramifications of this? In your opinion. If you care to comment? I used the Police officer e...

But you trust the same governments and society to enact an ethical assisted suicide scheme?
