Re: Euthanasia

I celebrate the court's decision on assisted suicide because it gives people back some rights over their own body and mind. Society often misuses energy trying fruitlessly to restrict what people do with their own body. I'm grateful that we are moving towards being responsible…

Re: All-candidates meetings
