Why Euthanasia is a Feminist Issue
For many years now I’ve mulled on the idea that euthanasia – a good death – is a feminist issue.
In some ways I came to the cause of end of life choices through feminism.
Indeed, my very first letter to the editor when I was 20 was about abortion rights. I was upset that …

Only in America
The US is nothing if not a country full of real surprises. One has to look no further than at this week’s inauguration to have that confirmed.
But of relevance to those wanting access the choice of a peaceful death, and in particular those in the US States that have now passed legislation granting permission …

Why America’s Medical Aid in Dying Acts are Failing Seniors
In recent weeks, the Dutch Ambassador to New Zealand, Robert Zaagman, has described NZ political debate about whether to introduce a voluntary euthanasia/ assisted suicide law as being akin to Dutch debate 20 years ago.
While an increasing number of US States are moving beyond the ‘should we’ – ‘shouldn’t we’ legislate on end of …

Should the Dutch extend euthanasia to the ‘well’ elderly?
Extending assistance to die to the so-called ‘well elderly’ is a topic that has long been of interest to Exit.

In mid July at the Secret Garden Party Festival in Cambridgeshire in the UK, The Loop alcohol and drug testing service achieved the impossible.
They conducted police-approved, lawful drug testing for party-goers.
Politics.co.uk writes that a 10m sq patch of lawn became Ground Zero for those wanting their party drugs tested.

Why Theresa May is no Feminist
I must admit, while not a conservative voter, last week I started to get a bit sucked in!
Last week, there was Theresa May, Britain’s would-be next (and now new) Prime Minister wearing purple.
While I’m yet to notice Hillary in the color of feminism (and dignity), I convinced myself that May’s choice of frock …
