Pretty soon being of the opposite political party will be considered a terminal illness.

It is the most humane way to leave your life. 💜

I ❤️ New Zealand

Nice to have that option if you're terminal.

We can see were it's all leading to....Remember Aktion T4 mass murder by involuntary euthanasia in Nazi Germany. The last time it was, Gun Buy-Back bill.... We're watching... Hnnnhmmmmn.

Lệnh CÔNG Toàn Cầu. Giết người dù dưới bất cứ hình thức nào cũng là vô nhân đạo trái đạo đức phi Truyền Thống và chẳng hợp lý Trời. Các ác như vậy nó sẽ đi xa hơn, chấp nhận với yếu 'đuối' tiêu cực. TIÊU CỰC!

Oh shit!

Good for them. If people want to cross over they should be allowed to cross over.

At last - I’ve been dying for this to happen .

They voted in favour of euthanasia and disapproved of legalizing cannabis. If this doesn’t show how the boomers are slowing progression with their dying breath, I don’t know what will.

But no weed :(

Because when you don't value life...moral bankruptcy continues.

Wow
