Concerning questions about the NZ euthanasia case still not being asked by media/public

A couple of things about the NZ euthanasia case involving Sean Davison have been bothering me over the last day or so.

a) Why did Mr. Davison actually write a book about killing his own mother?

I can’t help but wonder whether or not either Mr. Davison, or Mr. Davison and his mother had actually been planning to turn her death into a macrbe act of pro-euthanasia activism right from the very beginning.

Who in their right mind kills a family member under these sort of circumstances and then writes a book about it?

This sort of behavior is more akin to ideological activism than some sort of genuine cathartic release.

b) Why did he then omit the actual details about his mother’s death from his book?

If Mr. Davison is actually the staunch pro-euthanasia convert that he now claims to be, then why would he omit the very details about his mother’s death which clearly prove this to be a case of euthanasia?

If it was merely the case that he didn’t want to go to jail, then why did he write a book about the whole incident, which clearly exposes his actions to scrutiny, in the first place?

Why not just quietly join some pro-euthansisa pressure group?

Part of me can’t help but wonder whether or not we are are still not actually getting the full story about his mother’s death.

c) Who leaked the original manuscript of the book (which details Davison’s act of killing his mother) and why?

We know that he sent copies of the original manuscript to family members and others, so has one of them leaked the manuscript because they know a bit more about this case than what is currently in the public domain, or included in Mr. Davison’s book, and they want Mr. Davison exposed in some way?

The very fact that Mr. Davison has brought forward his flights out of NZ and back to South Africa suggests that, unlike his public rhetoric, he is actually not quite as committed, or convinced of the integrity of his pro-euthansia ideology.

Like I told the NZ Herald on the weekend when they rang me for comment on this story, Mr. Davison’s case sends a very clear warning about why legalised euthanasia is terribly dangerous idea.

The simple fact is Mr. Davison’s mother was killed by him, and yet he has now become the public spokesperson about how she died – we just don’t what is true and what is not, because he is alive and the victim of his lethal act is dead.

Which is exactly why the law must fail-safe and protect our elderly, sick and disabled from an untimely death at the hands of another.

(perhaps pro-euthansia advocate Michael Laws should take note of this important fact, especially since he has taken to blindly championing the cause of Mr Davison on his radio show – along with suggesting that parents should be legally allowed to euthanize their young children on yesterday morning’s show)
