The whole issue of ethics in relation to this quickly changing world is
about the most perplexing of all issues.

I believe changes in medical technology and areas such as genetic
engineering, fertility technology etc etc are vitally important to those
interested in disability issues.

I feel that there has to be a careful look at these issues and a wide
debate about them because the reality of our world today is so
dramatically different than it was.

I feel it would be a mistake to automatically rely on past value
structures in the light of such changes. There are circumstances where I
would strongly support euthanasia.

I believe that this and the issues of genetic engineering, reproductive
technology etc is worth of great debate on this echo.

What does EVERYBODY think????????
