Keating's threshold poses questions
Paul Keating is to be congratulated for addressing an issue that can easily fall prey to mere sentimentality ("Euthanasia is a threshold moment we should not cross", October 20). I wonder if this wouldn't even be on the table if we actually had the courage to accept that a life without suffering, while desirable, is a virtual impossibility. If, in the end, the proposed bill is all about suffering, I see no reason why the law shouldn't be expanded in ever widening circles.
