Euthanasia, assisted killing

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?

I don't think there's a problem with assisted suicide, as long as there is a psychological evaluation beforehand, and perhaps an age limit (with exceptions for chronically ill patients).

most people who want to end their lives are ill and a psychological evaluation will only prove that. if you want to kill yourself there is soemthing wrong and there are ways to help that person and assisting them on that task is immoral you should help them get better.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Especially if they have some sort of a terminal illness--they'll die soon, so why suffer until then.

I agree with Sammi about having a psychological evaluation beforehand and an age limit.

It's the person's own choice.

what people don't understand is maybe at one point you want to die, but that doesn't mean in 2 weeks you will want to be dead a person can not make that sort of decision it is to difficult for ones brain to understand fully so i still stand by what i said earlier you can help them by helping them help themselves

It's not like they'll be alive 2 weeks later to change their mind about wanting to die.

And I doubt they'll just decide one day that they want to die, and go do it. They have time to think it through.

No, I don't think you do know what a terminal illness is. That means they're going to die, whether they died tomorrow or in six months. They're bedridden. Sick. DYING. ... What difference does it make if they want to get it over with and not be in so much pain sooner rather than later?

i know what it means its just if you are going to die you should let it happen you shouldn't kill your self its not your place what if they find a cure the day after you end your life.

if your really suffering then maybe but not for depressed/disterbed people

I'm not saying some little emo kid should walk into a hospital and say, "Kill me now!" and be able to make it happen. Assisted suicide is for those who can't commit suicide on their own. That's why they need assistance. wink.gif

But...no one does that, and it's never going to be allowed. So why is there a problem? The topic's on euthanasia. That's not anyone walking into a hospital and getting killed.

i did a project once on Euthanasia once and i didnt see anything wrong with it either. i agree with what most of you were saying.

though there is this program called Hospice i believe it's called, and it's an assisted-living program basically. it's like euthanasia, just minus all the equiptment/meds they'd use to kill you sooner. (that sounds really harsh) but Hospice is just a natural way of life, it may prolong the suffering, but it's another option for those who are iffy about euthanasia or are against it.

you basically have someone (a nurse or assistant i would assume) who just aids you and helps you with anything you need in the comfort of your own home, not having to leave for the doctor for any reasons, the nurse does all that.. and you die naturally when it's your time..

If we are to live in a free country, is not a basic right the freedom we have over our own bodies? If this is so, would it not be the right of a sane and sentient individual to decide whether or not they wish to end their own lives? In the case of Euthanasia, the cases would be for those who are not even capable of killing themselves, and are clearly suffering.

What exactly is wrong with someone deciding that they wish to die earlier than later? Is it not wrong for us to deny them that luxury, rather we force them to suffer?

i think it should be available if a person is in critical condition and has absolutely no hope of survival.
if a person is in grave pain and wouldn't be the same ever again even if a cure was discovered the next day, it should be allowed.
everyone has the right to choose what happens to their body.
