Yes. It's up to you to decide for yourself whether you want to help her or not, but the decision of the girl to end her life is not yours to make. She may or may not be making the correct choice but it's her choice because it's her life not yours that we're talking about. *> For me eugenics is a natural next step after adopting euthanasia.* It's odd how you are super concerned about hypothetical negative consequences of euthanasia that may or may not actually occur depending on the accuracy of your hypothesis, but at the same time completely ignore the non-hypothetical very real horrors that are actually occurring by not allowing the use of euthanasia. But of course that is always an occupational hazard whenever one tries to use the "slippery slope" argument to justify one's position. The now discredited "gateway drug" hypothesis is the reason some people have spent decades in prison because they were caught with one marijuana cigarette in their possession, one puff of marijuana was supposed to make you a heroin junkie for life. *> If there was a real method to improve the offspring, then I assure you > it would heve been a well guarded secret and only the richest club members > would have been allowed in.* Wow, you've got a lot of them. This is a different completely unverified hypothesis; do you also recommend that we simply abandon all future medical research and so avoid this hypothetical problem and ignore the very sick people that exist right now?
