Turning the tide.

How do you frame the rules for killing?, once killing is an accepted solution for human suffering?
What is the meaning of true compassion and dignity?
Salt and Light Television has produced a DVD based on real-life experiences, entitled "Turning the Tide: Dignity, Compassion and Euthanasia" which analyzes euthanasia and assisted suicide, and offers some suggestions for improving the quality of life of those suffering from terminal illnesses.
In 2005, efforts to change the laws to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide were before the legislative bodies in Canada and California. In both cases the legislation did not pass. However the efforts to legalize assisted suicide have not abated.
Catherine Frazee, Wesley Smith, Jean Echlin, Bobby Schindler, Adrian Dieleman and Senator Carstairs bring an wealth of personal experience and insight to a society that would be at risk if assisted suicide were legalized. They expose the oversimplification flaws and myths surrounding safeguards, pain managment and suffering. They offer solutions as to what needs to be done to improve the quality of life .
It is time to let our voices be heard because if the laws are changed, we'll be fighting for our lives.
It's time we started turning the tide.
