Pets
I just heard this gem on a Five Live discussion of euthanasia. Someone emailed in with this:
Would these pro-life campaigners allow their pet to carry on suffering, or would they go to the vet to have it put down?
I assume the emailer was trying to make a pro-euthenasia point. In which case, a word of advice: you might want to stop comparing it with having a pet put down.
(I had a spelling error on an earlier version of this.)
