Poll: Are you happy owning your own home, or renting?

Paul Reporter from Stuff

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?

It turns out one answer does not fit all.

Some people feel more "grounded" owning their own home, giving them the feeling they're planning for the future and creating a legacy. But there are people who think the opposite. Read more

As many of you will know, we are currently debating the End of Life Choice Bill in Parliament. I would like to thank David Seymour MP for bring this bill to our attention.

I acknowledge that there are a range of views around the subject of euthanasia, and I have a deep level of respect for everyone's opinions and personal experiences.

I believe it's important we have a respectful debate about this issue. If you would like to comment below, please ensure your comments show due respect for the views of others.

I am personally opposed to this bill, and my reasons our outlined below, and in the video attached to this post.

I believe this bill impacts on vulnerable people in our communities. I'm concerned that in many cases those who would have access to end of life choice under this bill are the old, the unwell, and people with devastating and difficult diseases. By definition, these people are often in a vulnerable position.

By sharing the experiences of those who are dying, we stand to learn a lot about what is important in life, about relationships within families and communities. Our experience of humanity risks being diminished if we push for shorter, more succinct death experiences. I am certainly not in favour of glorification of suffering, but rather a turning toward, than a turning away from the natural dying process.

The vast number of those in the medical profession oppose this bill, having insightful information and experience on the issue of dying.

I retain a concern about the increasing desire across society to favour a sanitised experience of death; the desire to control every aspect of life and death. Improved palliative care practices will address many of the concerns raised by proponents of assisted dying.

I am concerned that people approaching an end of life situation may experience overt pressure. They can feel they are a burden on their families, worry about the pain that the final months may put them through, and may see it simply as a better choice to access end of life provisions.

Our current laws protect all human life equally. No one person's life is treated differently from anyone else's.

I acknowledge the genuine position of those MPs and community members who support the Bill. While I disagree with that position, I will be conducting the debate in a constructive and sensitive manner out of respect for the genuinely held views of proponents, and the sensitive issue under consideration.
