Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), or Euthanasia
Personally, I think one solution to this dilemma is to grant palliative care to people who choose to forego medical treatment that keeps them alive. The patient can choose to be taken off the treatment and allowed to die as comfortably as possible. No vet should do that. It is your beloved pet...- Jagella

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), or Euthanasia
Recently it was reported in the news that a Heather Pressdee, a nurse practicing in Pennsylvania, was charged with murder for euthanizing 17 people under her care. A plea agreement was all that saved her from being charged with murder. You can read about it in 'Evil Personified': Nurse Gets Life...- Jagella

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), or Euthanasia
I've read that voluntary euthanasia easily can and does become involuntary. It is naive to think that people will always obey the rules, of course. When it comes to issues of life and death, we need to be very careful what we believe. That sounds good on paper, but what happens in the real...- Jagella

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), or Euthanasia
Nursing homes definitely need to be reformed. My Dad spent the last few years of his life in a nursing home and often complained about his treatment there. I don't know how the nursing home industry gets away with it. I suspect many people give up on the "residents" in nursing homes and just...- Jagella

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), or Euthanasia
I used to support euthanasia, but I've since changed my mind because now it appears to be a threat to the disabled. Although "the right to die" might sound like a nice idea, I've found that its supporters see it as an easy way to rid the world of unwanted and burdensome people. So instead of...- Jagella

Is mathematical rigour key to scientific certainty?
You lost me here. What conclusions have you jumped to and what "pretense about mathematics" are you referring to? I've concluded using reason that Gods are merely imaginary, if that's what you mean by "atheist." But my objections to your assertions about math have nothing to do with the...- Jagella

Can an atheist believe in God?
Have you not read the pronouncements written by the atheist-prophets on this thread revealing to us the sacred dogma that a true atheist does not and cannot believe in God? So it is posted, so it must be believed! Seriously, it just goes to show that atheists can be every bit as dogmatic as... -

Can an atheist believe in God?
In which holy book of atheism can we find this sacred definition? -

Can an atheist believe in God?
You kept asserting "Uh huh" without a shred of evidence to back it up. In such cases "nuh uh" is quite adequate to counter. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
You are wrong. You are wrong. You are wrong. It looks like an atheist can be one without evidence to support claims about atheism. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
It looks like your God is any definition you choose. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
Again, I simply disagree with your assertions about atheism. I think that atheists can believe in God, and that includes you. -

Is mathematical rigour key to scientific certainty?
Is this the latest conspiracy theory? Sadly, the "public" is poorly educated in mathematics which has opened them up to believing these quasi-religious notions about mathematics. Sorry, but math is just a language and a methodology people invented to describe the world in numerical terms. Math...- Jagella

Can an atheist believe in God?
We'll just need to disagree on that issue. It seems to me that human cognition and belief just doesn't fit into such neat categories. I'm not so sure. Believing there is no A isn't quite the same as having no belief in A. For one thing, to believe there is no A requires knowledge about A while... -

Can an atheist believe in God?
Obviously we need to know what we're talking about. To offer an unexplainable being as an explanation for existence is at best to trade one problem for another. That's one of the chief reasons why many design arguments for God fails. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
Yes. The world exists. If a God exists, then her existence is more difficult to explain than the world's existence. So I just stick with the world because I know it exists. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
To me it's unwise to believe what others tell me when there's no evidence to believe it, but based on my having latent theism, it appears that some foolishness is unavoidable for me. -

Can an atheist believe in God?
You can call things whatever you want to. The trick is to use the same names other people do. You don't understand that definitions of words can differ and often do differ? No thank you. "Truth seeker" works fine. "Bastardizing" is awfully harsh, don't you think?
