Euthenasia?, wrong or right? Options

[sikdragon]

Hastening the death of a friend or loved one to decrease the long-suffering. Is this a good thing to help the patient commit suicide?




I am pro-suffering.

sikdragon, fire and brimstone? Let's not be medieval here.

And let's be clear on the meaning of euthanasia. There's a difference between it and assisted suicide, which is what you proposed in your first topic and in your subsequent reply.

Euthanasia: Somone else making the decision to end the suffering of someone

Assisted suicide: Making the conscious decision to end your life because of no hope of living, like if you had a terminal illness, ususally helped by someone in the medical profession: i.e. Dr. Kevorkian

And, ryfitaDF, don't be so jaded. People have to face this decision every day, it's not very sensitve to say "the faster they inherit (which you spelled wrong, btw), the better."
