[quote=DODGER,298274]Katrina, I don’t believe that it is possible to be able to legislate for moral behavior, that’s one of the main functions of all religion. If you can find me an example of were it has worked I’d be surprised. Euthanasia and Abortion are clearly moral issues. It is not my place to decide or to speculate on whether a woman should or should not terminate her pregnancy. How many variables would there be? It should be left to the woman and to some extent her partner to make that decision not a moral crusader or a state. As with the case on Euthanasia, unless you believe that the State hold a complete monopoly on when we should live or when we should die or put our self’s at the risk of dying (compulsory conscription) it should be left to the individual. There are many in this world who believes that we are overpopulated. What a wonderful way to cull the population. Ok, step forward all those sixty and above…. It is my understanding that there is no ‘common law” in China, unlike the UK and the US. Unwritten laws that are set by precedents and can be adjusted naturally to keep pace with the current moral climate. I would close in suggesting that your point on adopting a lethal injection to kill a person rather than a bullet to the head may have been put in place to bring more comfort to the executioner than to the executed. I would guess that the anxiety factor for the victim would be about the same although I hope not to be able to test this theory. Dodger. [/quote]
