To compare those who oppose voluntary euthanasia with the fanatics of the Spanish Inquisition, as Ada Harris does (Letters, October 14), is irrational.
The Inquisition wanted to kill people who they regarded as heretics, whereas those who are opposed to euthanasia wish to save life.
Let us support medical research into painful and (so far) incurable diseases, improve the quality of care in NHS hospitals and support the hospice movement, particularly our local hospice.
But we shouldn't take the seemingly easy way out by encouraging euthanasia - voluntary or otherwise.
-Rev John Webster, Hove
