me too, haven't read this legislation but maybe try it and if there are too many people killing of gramps and gran it can be amended or scrapped
How many is too many?
more than 100 per year

Good strong confident answer.

None of you are prepared to make the statement that the awful suffering some people go through is more important to you than preventing and protecting people from being coerced into early deaths.

I would happily make that statement, sing it from the rafters even.

meh, anyone whose voted was taken for granted and still didn't vote for Harris anyway can kindly go jump off a bridge. though there is given how worthless they are they'd perhaps only go for a low bridge.
