When my time comes, I wish to die a dignified and painless death and not be subjected to the obscene ordeals the Pope and that poor American woman Terri Schiavo have been.

I should not be denied a merciful release by religious bigots, pontificating priests, media pundits or timid politicians.

Euthanasia should be available to those sincerely requesting it, subject to the approval of, say, five doctors.

What on earth is wrong with that? And whose life is it anyway?
