Life / Advocating euthanasia routinely causes scandals in Poland... [63]
there is no such thing as agonizing pain if there is right treatment - the thing is modern pain relievers are expensive, there is also no such thing as Alzheimer patients wanting to end their life beacause of their disease (at least not in Poland)

I think its very much one of those issues that we all become pseudo philosiphers but when you are in on going agonizing pain, it is totally different.

Promotion of euthanasia becomes today a proof that we are a progressive, enlightened and modern. Speaking out against euthanasia is getting stronger testimony that someone is dominated by the "backward" (because religious) thinking.
However, the truth is quite different. Do supporters of euthanasia realize that their basic argument: suffering from pain man who does not want to live - is already a past, on condition that he will benefit fully from achievements of modern palliative medicine? But this care costs money. Whoever pays for it - whether it's the state or the insurance company - is from a purely economic point of view, interested only in a patient who choose a quick death, and not a patient who wants a slow death without pain, which after all for him - the patient - means a life without pain until death.
Euthanasia propaganda is based on lies and economic calculation.
