		<description>The Euthanasia debate!

                        Well I for one am delighted that professor wasn t allowed speak!
                     Not because hes in  favour of Euthanasia as such, if he wants to  
                     End his life by lethal injection at some stage,that’s his own business, 
What really got to me  is that Prof  Doyal promotes involuntary euthanasia
For the purpose of cost reduction in hospitals!   
                             Im all for free speech, but to have a group from the health board invite
this guy onto hospital premises to talk about how to save money by killing
off the patients- with the doctor making the decision which person is worth treating.!thats frightening!
                                                                                                                                           Last time I checked Doctors and Nurses are supposed to heal/treat  a sick person no matter what illness/disease they have, Prof Doyle was there to promote the killing of sick people without their consent to save money! I see that as a threat to myself,my loved ones . I don t want him anywhere near our hospitals, I will be old someday I hope! Or at some stage in my life I may need hospital care – If his ideas were to be taken on by those in charge of our Health System – id have to have a Garda Escort with me for fear there would be an attempt on my life by the very people who are supposed to be treating me,!   Sounds Crazy! Not really when groups in  our Health System or thrashing out the idea under the guise of debate and free speech!
If they are not in favour of  Euthanasia and it has no use or benefits  to patients ,doctors and nurses – those persons interested in his views and ideas should have had this debate at their own expense  and maybe in a conference hall or college
If one of my family were in hospital seriously ill and I knew that guy was on the premises putting notions and ideas of involuntary euthanasia into the heads of anyone connected to the running of our hospitals – I wouldnt have shouted him down – id have put him head first out the window ! 
So a big well done to the God Squad, Youth Defence and to the General Public for shouting him down, not because of their groups religious beliefs or causes ,but for highlighting a serious threat to all of us,  something the whole human race has in common friends and family ,in particular  those family members or friends who are sick,old or disabled  , No one has the right to take anothers  life  that’s murder, and not ever for money saving measures –to even speak or think that way is vicious and vile.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m unhappy to see that the lecture was cancelled, but really, it&#039;s not hard to see why allowing somebody campaigning to give doctors the right to decide to end a patient&#039;s life might prove controversial in a hospital setting. The situation could have been easily resolved had things been organnised better.</description>
