Euthanasia, assisted killing Options

[*NatiMarie*]

Euthanasia is known as painless killing and is sometimes placed on patients that suffer, but want to have their life taken away by an injection or something of the kind.

Should this type of assisted suicide be allowed, or should it be banned?

What do you think?

but you can't play God like that.... think about it, even though you are suffering, and going through a horrible time, there is still so much you can do.

You have time to be with your family, apologize for hurts.... and so on, and once that is over, you may not know what influence you have on others, but it doesn't mean you dont have any, take this for ex: a young man is contemplating suicide and hears that there is a man, who has been in a car crash, has his legs amputated and is told due to heart damage he has year to live, which must be spent in a hospital, and this man chooses to live. This man sees how much more someone can suffer than him, and realizes he doesn't have it so bad, hence, you ( the man with no legs) saved a man's life by choosing to live. There are holes in my example I realize but I don't have time to give a real good one right now.

... what can vegetables do exactly that's 'so much' in your point of view?

again, you seem to think everyone is strong. indeed, each of us has the capabilities to be strong, but the source our strengths may differs as night and day. have you ever seen someone you love in so much pain that she wishes she'd die and you want the same because it grieves you to see her in unbearable pain? my aunt had cervical cancer that spread throughout her body and those sentiments i mentioned were felt by all who loved her. she wanted to live for those who will survive her, but the cancer set physical limitations. no, she didn't use euthanasia because she was Catholic and the decision was made before she realize she'd be in that much pain. guess what? the pain was so intolerable and she could not eat, drink, nor spoke. we watched as she died in hunger and pain.

you have to understand, some people DO HAVE IT BAD and need the last resort.
