Vote ‘yes’ for euthanasia

It is quite obvious that those opposing euthanasia in the upcoming referendum have never lost a loved family member to a very painful, incurable disease, so have no practical experience on this subject. To gain some knowledge, I advise them to visit a few old folks' homes and talk to the caregivers who share the anguish with the family members.

If, God forbid, a cherished family member of one of these anti-euthanasia protagonists did have a very painful incurable condition, I can say without fear of contradiction they would change their stance quicker than I could say “I told you so”.
