Fair point, but are you really suggesting that it would be reasonable for his family to be on call for a potential two-week notice for over a decade? It seems to me to be a very clear power imbalance here between the parties, where one party with only minimal effort (giving maybe two or three months notice) would make matters substantially easier (and humane) for the other party.
- Aeolun 5y agoWould that actually be more humane? They’d feel compelled to spend those three months with their family member, instead of getting to start grieving/move on. I guess I still lean towards giving people a choice, but I’m not sure it’s actually better.
- ido 5y agoI would absolutely prefer to have 3 months notice that 2 weeks if my brother was on death row in Singapore (and I was outside Singapore), especially as as the article describes it's difficult for them to even manage to get there in that time.
