"In the case of a freak situation in which a person has no serious illness or is over a certain age, if the person cannot make the decision themselves it would be made by those closest to them on the basis of professional medical advice.
Also if the patient is in a coma, 5-10 years should be waited until those closest to them make a decision. "
Consider this. This resolution makes it possible to kill someone *without* their consent. And why say 5-10 years? Which is it 5 or 10?
This proposal currently has less than 60% support. It is, as I have said another nail in the UN's coffin. As the credibility of the UN continues in a downward spiral, one can only wonder what kind of lame proposals will be passed in the future.
Is there any sanctity to human life at all?
Does anyone see the difference between murder and suicide? This proposal clearly goes beyond promoting legalised suicide since it gives the right to kill someone without their consent.
And what does "over a certain age" mean? What is that age? 50?
Hey, here's a great idea let's kill everyone who is 50 or over! They're too old to have a right to life, correct?
What about those who are mentally ill? Should we kill all them too?
They don't have the ability to "make the decision themselves", correct?
