Nancy Crick, John Edge's book, and more on Legalising Voluntary Euthanasia

Today there's an article in the Courier Mail about a book published by John Edge called 'Telling it Straight' which apparently includes more information about the assisted suicide of Nancy Crick. The article says that police will review the book with a view to reopening the case of Nancy's death.

This is a comment I sent to the online Courier Mail. I'm not sure whether it will be pulished or not, but I decided to save a copy here anyway.

Isn't it time the States introduced humane legislation which allows Voluntary Euthanasia? Lets have an end to the need for ridiculous clandestine activity, over-the-top publicity, and then the waste of police resources as they hunt down these wicked 'criminals'.

Even Amanda Vanstone, called the most poweful woman in the Federal Cabinet, supports the legalisation of controlled Voluntary Euthanasia. We need to see the end of uncontrolled deaths assisted by radical activists and the even sadder hidden suicides of the many desperate elderly terminally ill who resort to hanging, shooting, or drinking household poisons.
