Pupils are being taught about euthanasia with a video featuring a notorious assisted suicide campaigner nicknamed Dr Death.
Dr Philip Nitschke is shown demonstrating his machine that delivers lethal injections in the film, which is already being shown to pupils as young as 14 across the country.
There is also footage of him giving workshops on assisted suicide methods, which church leaders have criticised as an 'invitation to commit suicide'.

Or would you rather kids fell out of their bubble wrap after school and died of shock from discovering that things like Euthenasia and Abortion are actual real issues that many people feel strongly about?
'When Dr Nitschke gives his workshops he doesn't know whether people have mental health problems or difficulties which would prevent them making an informed choice.
'We believe it's irresponsible to put information on how to end your own life into the ether without knowing who it is going to.'

Does that happen? I remember that Leave it to Beaver episode. Seriously, what styles of suicide were you taught? Did they come with demonstrations like these?
Now for some intelligent opinion:

Of course this will be sold as helping young children cope with death... Yeah, I'm sure thats the motivation.
It is being shown to pupils aged 14 to 18, mainly those studying GCSE philosophy which includes euthanasia on the curriculum.

You are clearly paranoid ararisq. Assisted suicide for the terminally ill is more ethical than forcing people to suffer in incredible pain and indignity to the point of death for the benefit of those who believe it's the dominion of a sky fairy.
I get the feeling that you probably look for hidden conspiracies everywhere. How you joined the abstract dots above and came to your conclusions is rather worrisome.

Before I discovered that God was real nothing would have dissuaded me from supporting euthanasia. No matter what you say, because they don't accept the possibility of hell, they will continue saying that it's okay to kill oneself if the pain is unbearable. There's nothing anyone who knows the reality of hell can do to inform them of where they might be going and how it might be worse than any torture in this life.

If you knew what euthanasia is then you'd know that its not a person killing themselves. It people being helped to die with. Theres a big difference.
