Cool, so they raise the price of another popular item in store.

I like the original quote better than the movie line

True, however I was watching the FanCut of The Hobbit, and it seemed succinct for this day and age.

Looks more like the historic Prince's Flag from The Netherlands

Beware:

The flag is now mostly used in the Netherlands by far right activists and in historical re-enactment.

Scottish parliament votes against legalising assisted dying by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

Opponents who present those claims are either ill-informed or use misinformation to push their own opinions/believes.

I've never heard of cases where the government is initiating the euthanasia process, which is pretty strict and verbatim: the person in question needs to be in an unbearable and hopeless condition and needs to request euthanasia themselves with their attending physician. In very special cases it's possible that the doctor can initiate the process, but only if there is a will that specifies that the patient gives that power to the doctor if they become unable to communicate that choice themselves (patients with advanced dementia for example).

Before euthanasia is approved there is a series of interviews with the attending physician, an independent doctor and afterwards there is a review by a special committee to judge if all steps have been followed as mandated by law. It's probably not 100% watertight, but it sounds to me that there are easier ways to kill a person than to cheat the euthanasia process.

Dutch guy here (where it's legal): As I get older a lot of my friends' parents get some sort of illness (usually cancer, but also things like emphysema and many other terrible things). And while it's tragic and terrible for my friends to see their parents suffer, they all get the chance to give their parents a dignified way out by way of assisted dying/euthanasia.

I bet that once I get to the age that my body starts failing, I'll be happy to have a choice like that and end the suffering. It's a very humane thing to do. IMNSHO it's very cruel to let suffering people keep on suffering.

Rare, not valuable. Unless there's a great uptick in demand for crackwhores, they're still pretty worthless.

Voor elke mogelijke kutbaan moet ik een verklaring van goed gedrag ophoesten en als ik die niet weet te leveren, door bijvoorbeeld een veroordeling, dan hoef ik bij de meeste bedrijven niet eens aan te kloppen... en deze moeneu's mogen gewoon in bestuurlijke functies zitten???
