How do you feel about euthanasia?

Susie D

If it's good enough for Rover why isn't it good enough for me?

I can put my dog down so he won't suffer - but if it's me and I am in agony and going to die.....oh well tough it out.

It's ok if the person being euthanized wants to die and is in a rational frame of mind to make that choice... or in the case of unruly pets.

Merciful. p.s. trust your caregivers.

It has a useful place in society.

i agree 100% with it. i think that if it were regulated and given the correct supervision it could be done in a very humane way.

I think people are just nervous about doctors abusing patients and forcing them to do it.

Its a hard choice: to have someone you love who is in pain or is never going to respond vs letting them pass on and not be in that state anymore. If your selfish then you keep them arround but deep down you know they should move on. Hard decision I hope I never have to go through it.

I think people is dire pain, with incurable diseases, should have the right to terminate their own lives.

The current situation creates the horror of people being forced to live in pain; this benefits no one, with the possible exception of the vultures of the 'health-care' industry, who always profit hugely off of people's suffering.

Those on the religious right who oppose suicide should be satisfied that if there is a god, it is up to her to judge

It is necessary, but only with informed consent

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. THEY MAY NOT BE IN THE RIGHT STATE OF MIND, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLES LIVES ARE JUST REALLY BAD, AND NO 1 SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT. I ALWAYS LOOK AT THINGS LIKE.. THINGS GET WORSE B4 THEY GET BETTER.. THATS THE LINE I'VE USED 2MANY TIMES TALKING MY FRIENDS OUT OF SUICIDE..

It's a touchy subject to say the least. You know if Nancy Crusan's father isn't in heaven because he committed suicide...I don't wanna go either.

Oh it's already been planned out for me should I become a total dependent. I have a very good friend who has promised that my death will be quick and as painless as possible.

This is a long-running ethical issue.

If a someone is for the Death Penalty, but against euthanasia, does this mean he advocates the taking of human life for criminals, but not to allow people to end their suffering?

If a person is pro-abortion, partly because the fetus may live with a life-long deformity necessitating life nursing care, but is against euthanasia, does this mean this person would rather see a human suffer than a fetus?

The problem I see is that most people who want to be put out of their misery, may no longer have the capacity to give their consent, due to the pain and depression.

Further, if someone wrote a Power of Attorney requesting to be put out of their misery ahead of time, what if the person, later on, decides he wants to live after all?

I believe only in the most extreme cases, under a doctor's recommendation, should euthanasia be allowed.

Your name here, cheap.

After seeing what happened in the netherlands, it stinks.

its going against the will of god.... if someone is suffering in their last days it is probably because they deserve it

I think that it's on the same level as murder! You may be doing a "mercifull" thing, but you are still taking a life! They may be undergoing a whole lot of unbearable pain, but do you seriously want to murder some one because of it?

momrfg2003

I feel that God gives life and only He can decide when it should end.

What is it about the young kids in Asia and why are they all killing themselves?

Oh, never mind.

Edit:
Wow, what a bunch of sore-asses. Not many SNL fans here I take it.

ozzie.1947

I don't see anything wrong with the youth in ASIA. iT'S THEIR PARENTS THAT WORRY ME!

I think young men and women in China are nice people.
