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.

Everyone suffers. Why are they murdered? Pain is just an altered state of mind. Who is anyone to decide when life should end?

Pain is not an altered state of mind, pain is a sensation. It's not murder to use eunthanasia, rather helping a friend. If I were in a coma after a car accident without any hope of coming out - I'd be pretty damn quick to pull the plug.

Is assisted suicide right when someone just breaks their leg??

When one breaks a limb.. you are not in any great danger. Limbs are easily healed, there's no need to euthanize anybody.

When a person commits an act of euthanasia he brings about the death of another person, soley because he believes the other is better off deceased. He believes that unless he intervenes, life would become horrible and death would be a better reality to face. Euthanasia is benefitial to not only the victim, but the family and friends - they can stop worrying about the patient.
