Letters to the editor: Very stringent rules will apply to euthanasia

Re. Jan Stevenson's letter. (August 11)

I read the letter with interest. However, I would point out that very stringent rules will apply, we do not allow our much-loved and totally devoted pets to suffer and I cannot accept that our ''Creator" who supposedly represents unconditional love would allow one to suffer extreme pain.

My personal thoughts are that when I die (aided if necessary) it will be one of two things: The greatest adventure of my life (meeting everyone including historical figures) - or the greatest fraud of all time.

Cycleway

Is it not time, in view of the high cost of providing cycleways on our roads, the fact that they are now electric, the high cost of ACC through accidents, that they started paying their way?

Register them the same as motorcycles and give them a number and a registration fee.

Postpone election

Memories of 1940 come back.

In Britain a coalition government was formed to fight a common enemy and we won.

It would be wise to postpone the election until the emergency is past. Both major parties have a dearth of talent, so by pooling political resources we would have better
leadership to help us through the crisis.

When the virus is tamed there will be ample time for the politicians of every hue to push their separate, blinkered agendas.
