 Some terminally-ill patients may feel they are not valued |
A disabled woman and a carer who are visiting Guernsey have been speaking out against voluntary euthanasia. Alison Davis, who is severely disabled and confined to a wheelchair, says killing the terminally-ill is no way for a civilised society to behave.
Ms Davis was addressing a public meeting at St Peter Port School on Thursday evening.
The meeting follows pressure from campaigners for the introduction of voluntary euthanasia in Guernsey.
Reassurance needed
Ms Davis said she was very grateful that euthanasia had never been a legal option.
Carer Colin Hart says more should be done to reassure the terminally ill.
He argues that some patients often want to end their lives because they no longer feel valued.
Mr Hart claims the situation is not helped by pro-euthanasia campaigners.
The campaign group Guernsey4dad has been gathering support for voluntary euthanasia.
