Holland's euthanasia

Hi, ladies!

I'm interested to know more about Holland’s euthanasia, because I have wondered for a long time why Holland is so unique nation, which permit her people not only euthanasia but also prostitute and the same-sex marriage since early times. They are all controversial issues, and I’d like to know how they are controlling such problems. Peach, have you ever asked your guests about it? Anyway, if I were in his position, I‘d have no idea about it. I think it’s very important but hard for me…

By the way, these days there is a serious problem about food price rising around the world. I heard that story last night.
1) Why those problems arose?...Demand for grains is increasing more and more mainly because of strong needs in India and China, of bio-ethanol in USA, and of a series of droughts in Australia. So, more investors have put their money into grains.
2) What is Japan doing about it?...It is said that Japanese government has had no policy about agricultures even about a reduction of rice acreage. In present condition, wheat and dairy farms are now suffering from price rising.
It is most urgent that we should do something proper.  

Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow.
Bye!

Hi, ladies!!!
How are you doing?
Your why is a very good question, I believe, Cherry.

I have never done the comparative studies of the religious histories of European countries, and therefore I am aware that I am not in a position to say anything about religious matters in European countries. The only thing I could do is guessing, and my extremely simple conjecture is that, perhaps, Holland is the least religiously powerful one among the major European countries.

I always thought that Australia was the most secular, or an almost impious, country, though there are a number of churches still standing here and there.

About more than ten years ago I heard that the Northern Territory, one of the states in Australia, legalized euthanasia once but banned it before long, probably for some religious reason, I assume.

One of the historical facts is that the shogun government of Japan continued its trade with Holland after it officially prohibited the propagation of Christianity, which was Catholicism, in the first half of the 17th century. The reason is widely known that the Japanese then government came to the conclusion that Holland was a safe country in terms of Christianity, the power or influence of which it was so afraid of. Thus, traditionally, I, without any elaboration, presume that the country has had the least religious effect on its people and social ideology.

I lived with a Dutch woman for almost one and a half years while I was in Auckland, New Zealand, and I got an impression that she was fairly generous concerning religious creeds. Of course, this one of my personal experiences does not constitute any evidence for my argument, but I myself would like to believe my hunch.

It is getting dark, and perhaps night has fallen without my knowing, my precious friends. I will talk to you again, and goodnight to you all.

Hello, friends.

I don't think euthanasia is bad. Jack Kevorkian, an American pathologist, killed more than 100 people as euthanasia and he was sentenced 11-20 year-inprisonment on the charge of second degree murder, but last year he was released due to his good behavior in the prison.

He said that he just protected the right of death for the terminal patients and he was thanked by many people. Even though his medical licence was revoked, he sympathized his patients and did what he could do. Do you think that he is a bad guy?
