“…(heavy type in original) 3 How 'rare' is, of course, yet another point at issue. So too is the number who might request euthanasia or assisted suicide with estimates under the proposed legislation varying between 700 and 13,000 per annum.…”

“…Flew calls this fallacy the 'logically-black-is-white slide' and says: the very differences about which men care most are differences of degree: those for instance, between age and youth; between riches and poverty; between sanity and insanity; between a free society and one where -in an old phrase -everything which is not forbidden is compulsory. 3 Currently, the line between active termination of life and treatment withdrawal is such a line. The difference between, say, the Cox case -in which a rheumatologist injected potassium chloride and was convicted of attempted murder -and the Bland case -in which treatment withdrawal was declared not unlawful -demonstrate this legal distinction.…”

This paper had attempted to highlight the meaning and dialectics of some of Ibn Khaldoun's very crux concepts: education teaching refinement, urbanisation and civilisation. It found that education is a natural process. It is somewhat similar to a contemporary concept of socialisation and its purpose -as the tool of socialisation -can be traced in the meaning of the word tarbiyah which means to educate, to cultivate, socialise and bring up people and things. Teaching is a natural phenomenon in human social organisation. As man by nature needs to eat, drink and have sexual requirement, he by nature needs learning and gaining knowledge, teaching itself is a craft, made perfect by habit (malakah). Refinement is to reach the level of good ethical refinement and leads to the development of a civilisation (hadarah) which is the diversification of luxuries, the cultivation of things, and the education to the crafts that give elegance to all the various kinds of luxuries. Thus is achieved through the human necessity to socialise and refine his crafts in various fields.
