Religious zealots are adept at advancing spurious reasons why a law reform cannot be enacted.
But, when arguing against voluntary euthanasia, they fail to point out that the fundamental reason for such opposition is a belief that their God, one of many, created all life and only he has the right to end it.
Neither do they explain why their all-powerful all-loving God who made all things bright and beautiful (as we sang in Sunday School) also created germs, viruses and cancerous growths.
