your opinions about euthanasia.

(go look it up on google if you don't know what it is, but here's a short, concise description)
euthanasia is currently illegal. it's assisting a person in killing him/herself. (kind of like helping someone die... who really wants to die)

2 examples:
> a man has incurable cancer and wants to be put to the end of his suffering. if a doctor supplies him with morphine to kill himself, that would be considered illegal.

> a kid is miserable and wants to suffocate himself. but natural human reflex forces you to loosen up when you start suffocating, so the kid asks his buddy to hold down a plastic bag over his head. if the friend agrees to help, that's considered illegal...


there are a lotta pros and cons points to this...
some pros:
1 put out of misery
2 more room in hospital

some cons:
1 its murder



we did this in debate team last year. just wanted to hear what you guys hafta say about the moral issues, etc.
