I do not see what does not make sense? In Belgiom if you have an illness and show that you are consistent in your desire for euthenaisa then you are allowed to do so.
Why would it not be ethical to consider giving the same rights to those with a mental illness if they meet the same criteria?

It does make you wonder how you could think that commiting a horrific act on someone is a justifiable punishment to someone who has committed a horrific act?
I often wonder who they expect will commit this torture and murder Monday to Friday 9 to 5.

Yes, I'm better than a rapist.
Your proclivity, or at the very least inclination, to cause physical pain on another person says otherwise.

I don't consider a rapist just "another person". Look, I wouldn't lose one bit of sleep over some rapist / chomo dying a painful death. It just is what it is. In my mind, there is a line that shouldn't be crossed criminally. Once scumbag crosses that line, I just no longer have any sympathy for them. All I know is if a rapist scumbag caused harm to my wife or kids, they better hope they get arrested before I get to them because I'm going to get Medieval on that ass to quote Marcellus Wallace. I'll just leave it at that.

He is right you know, a legally appointed tourturer and exicutioner is better than a rapist.

After reding this article, I don't know how I feel about this being allowed to happen.
Why should a convicted rapist be allowed to end his life because of the claimed psychological damage being inflicted? Isn't that part of the punishment? To endure everlasting pain after declaring remorse for the way in which you treated women?
Where will this stop? Will it creep into the U.K and all of a sudden the Home Office started to receive requests from the likes of Brady or Sutcliffe?
Would you be comfortable with this? I don't know if I am, but maybe it's due to more perverse reasons on my part, such as continuing psychological damage. You raped or killed someone, you deserve to be punished.

This is the problem with society. People like yourself have the right to comment on things for NO reason.
Do you know why gay marriage should be allowed everywhere? Its because it has nothing to do with anyone else beside the two gay people. NOT you, not me.
The same for anything that has NO impact on your life like letting a dirty rapist end his life. Let him...it has NOTHING to do with you or me so keep your nose out of it.
Why does everyone think they can have some opinion on things that are none of their business. The person raped and her family might be the only ones who should be allowed an opinion.
But NOT you.

I don't consider someone that could torture and kill someone else just "another person".
