VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Steve|DATE|1366365082|CONTENT|Whenever you hear a religious person talk about &quot;moral dilemmas&quot;, normally these are caused by there being a clear and obvious moral path to take that just happens to be explicitly banned by their merciful god. In this case I think there is a genuine moral dilemma. It seems to me that individuals have the absolute right to end their life as they choose, and it seems equally true that many people towards the end of their life are in no position to make such a decision, and therefore require protection.

How we as a society balance these things is not obvious. What is obvious is that any religious opinion applies only to the sole individual espousing it, and is therefore completely and utterly irrelevant to any decisions about wider society, moral or otherwise. If Mona is confused by her disagreement with her own religion, that is her problem. If she wants to contribute to the debate, she is free to do so. If her contribution is religiously based, by definition it has no meaning to the 65M people in the UK who aren&#039;t her.|IP-ADDRESS|10.0.119.138, 217.36.222.79, 10.37.24.203|MODERATIONFLAG|
