I found this rather shocking. And yes this is true, they are actually allowing this to happen. I just so happened to turn on the radio and hear this. Then I went on the net and searched Google. I found this site about it. It gives a brief description. Something I am to lazy to do myself.


Anyway, your comments on this?
 
Wow, I must say that IS shocking...I support euthanasia and all, believing that if someone is terminally ill and in a state of unrelenting pain, that they have the right to end their lives as an act of mercy. However, for whatever reason, thinking about a staged suicide makes me sick....how can anyone possibly bare to look at that?
 
Is the band planning it for the entertainment factor or to promote a mercyful death? Probably the former, but they do say that it will be a terminally ill person.
 
I find something like this disgusting, I have no problem with euthanasia and if a stranger wants to commit suicide i'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. But to create a spectacle out of it not only shows how sick the individual is but how sick society is if people are willing to watch someone die. Anyone who wants to see an innocent person die as part of some sort of a theatre is sick. I don't mean to moralize but, fuck, this is twisted. At best, this makes euthanasia gimmicky and trivializes all the people who are suffering from terminal or otherwise painful illnesses who see euthanasia as an option.
 
They say they are doing this to promote Euthanasia(Which I agree with), but there are other ways to go about this besides doing it at their show. This is just a sick publicity stunt for their shit band. I hope they get arrested.
