IF Banbury MP Tony Baldry really believes that “the only person who should determine when we should die is the Almighty” (Oxford Mail, January 12, and Letters, January 30), then he must logically oppose all forms of medical intervention, including antibiotics, surgery and cancer treatment.
We would return to an age where many women died in childbirth and average life expectancy was 30 years, avoiding human interference with God’s will but surely not desirable.
Like everyone on all sides of the argument, Mr Baldry is picking and choosing which interventions are permissible, rather than laying down absolute rules.
