Euthanasia Information Page

The following contains links to pro- and anti-euthanasia sites.
My anti-euthanasia sites are limited by my definition of credible. That is, I am not interested
in promoting sites that exist only to insult, as most so-called "right to life" sites tend to do.

If you know of any sites with well though out reasons for being anti-euthanasia
(that is, do not lower themselves to the slurs and insults of the so-called
"right to life" sites) please let me know.

To this end, the `Preliminary Reading' links will give some insight into euthanasia and what the Nazi's called
euthanasia. After reading these you should be able to distinguish legitimate sites from those
only interested in promoting FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

I have also included links to information on the Oregon's `Death With Dignity' act, words from the dying,
what religions think of euthanasia, studies into the effects of euthanasia laws, and opinion polls.

unrecognized depression, or somekind of character flaw is an illusion."

If you feel quality control isn't important, your definition of quality
differs from mine, or you don't want to be limited by what is here, a
web search with the word euthanasia will give you plenty of links (you can
try a search engine like HotBot), or you could try the following :
