Jolanta comments on Oct 29, 2020:

I firmly believe that euthanasia is something that should be in all societies. Nobody's business if I want to end my life. I am quite sure that a huge proportion of people in nursing homes and others would be happy to have the choice, to end it or not. Besides all that the idea of being sedated and be allowed to die needs a lot of rules/laws attached to it. But you are wrong about Sweden. They have all these deaths because they do not have any lockdown, as opposed to the other Scandinavian countries. According to them each individual should take responsibility for their own actions, ie make sure that they do social distancing, wearing masks, etc, etc.
