Letters to the editor

Right to die is about choice

To the editor:

Re: Assisted suicide a slippery slope

I would just like to point out, our laws provincially and federally are not made based on religion or god. It's because everyone's idea of both these subjects are different; hence, why we have so many variations of each.

As our society evolves, so do our laws and rights.

If a person is of sound mind making this decision, who are you or anyone else to say no?

Just like the right for women to have abortions. Opinions differ on this controversial subject, but it is their right.

If you don't agree with these rights, then don't do them. But don't sit there and say someone else can't have it. Who are you to say otherwise.

Also human cloning and genetics are held to very strict laws and standards, and some practices aren't even allowed -- for the exact fear of blurring the line.
