Euthanasia

What is your opinion on Euthanasia, is it right or wrong?
Under what circumstances would your opinion change?

Are we talking euthanasia for imminent death cancer patients or for executions?

For execution I think we should skip euthanasia and bring back the firing squads.

Please someone do something!!!

If this bill this passes I will be the one to let you folks know that America's crime rate will increase by an enormous amount. It's an equivalent to to NFL threatening not having a season.

Vote NO!

My opinion is that this thread should be euthanized.

Euthanasia is ok by me if I've made a living will to be killed/allowed to die if my brain activity is essentially 0. However by making my wishes known I can't force anyone to comply with my wishes and do the deed. Without a living will...

If a person is only alive because of medical intervention and have effectively died already, having almost no chance of recovery, I think the family should be allowed to terminate treatment. Actually killing an otherwise survivable person, however vegetative, is imo immoral. Feed them indefinitely - that's one duty I think the state has if no one else is prepared to do this. They're essentially honor bound to prevent that person's murder: no different to an abandoned baby which can't feed itself. As long as the person has a chance of recovery greater than 0, you can't let them die.

Meanwhile I have no problem with assisted suicide for the mentally competent. It's my life. I have the right to end my life if I wish. You have the right to help me if I want you to, or to refuse.

A common objection is that families will put pressure on burdensome relatives to choose to kill themselves. I don't see this as a issue. What about relatives putting pressure on me to stay alive, even if my life is intolerable?

You know I'm right.
