euthanasia is basically commiting suicide 2 end the suffering of yourself, or havin a loved one or close friend do it 2 end your suffering, at the moment it is illeagal (because suicide is illeagal, but i dnt get that, cuz they cant arrest u once youve killed urself can theey :S) recently it has been argueed that for some medical patients it should be made legal, so far nothing has changed, i was wondering what you guys thought? [Fool]
I have one thought: You suck at typing. No matter how you look at it, suicide is stupid. Period. It's the easy way out of things. Pointless.
IMO I think people should be able to do whatever they want with their lives,after all its THEIR lives.And I back up euthanasia 90%,no one should have to suffer
but if you were dying of some terrible illness and was in extreame pain, and going to die anyway..would you rather end it or wait months to die in extreme pain?
That is the worst hypothetical situation I've ever heard of. If you were dying THAT bad, you'd be in a hospital already.
You cant help someone that wants suicide, BUT You CAN kill 1000 and 1000's of innocent people in wars. The world is so fair But yeah, suicide is stupid
Suicide is a really different thing then eutanasia. My father was really, and I mean REALLY sick. We talked about Eutanasia too. (I believe it's not illigal in holland). He had a lot of pain, and (he had a brain tumor) he knew it was going to be a lot worse. He said.. If I have so much pain, then I don't want to live anymore. We all agreed on this and our doctor knew of it too. When you see how much pain a person can have you know that it can be better to just end it. It kills you from inside to see a person suffer so much. It just tears your heart apart. Then you KNOW that eutanasia is for the best. So I agree with it... (I don't agree with suicide.. at least not in some cases). In the end we didn't had to do eutanasia because my father died at the consequences of his brain tumor. But in some cases it's just for the best. But when you see a loved one dying, your mind knows it's for the best that they are going to die because they are suffering so much but your heart doesn't want to let go.... But the inevitable will come anyway and it's always too soon.
Truth, not to mention completely selfish. [/b][/quote] And cowardly. I know it takes guts to kill yourself, hell I'd never be able to do it, but it's cowardly to kill yourself over problems instead of facing them head-on.
And cowardly.

I personally think Euthanasia is right 'cause in my opinion it's not worse than abortion except that this time, the person chooses if she wants to end everything. I don't think it's an act of cowardice either 'cause unlike suicide, you don't want to die because you want to escape problem, but because living has become unbearable both physicaly and mentaly. Some people with a great life who never thought about suicide may consider euthanasia only because of the physical pain. All in all, I think euthanasia is the right option when you don't have any quality of life anymore.
Yeah, I got confused. I was thinking about assisted suicide. Euthanasia is okay...as long as everyone agrees with it. Like pulling the plug on someone who's on life support. Other than that, suicide is ridiculous.
If that person wants you to kill them, and you do, can you still to jail for that? I watched one CSI episode, I think, and this family member killed his parent and then they traced it back to him but i forgot whether he got let off or not.
I head a uncle he has cancer and he has a lot of pain , He didn't want to live anymore he couldn't do anything only lay down and have pain , so he let him sleep in (eutanasia) , I don't think is wrong becuz if peoiple want dead (becuz they only live in pain , it's okay I think . The family of the person don't wanna see him suffer I think
totally agree with that. sorry to hear about your father though [/b][/quote] Yeah well... I feel really sad sometimes.. On the 2nd of September it's 2 months ago that he died
yes! Suicide is a totally different thing! And people who say otherwise don't have a clue about euthanasia.
I think euthanasia is ok. if you were dying and had no hope of a cure, you couldnt get out of bed, you had to used such things as an adult diaper ect and you were suffering unbearable pain , would you want to live or just end it. however i think if it was legal we would have to be very careful. i think that if assasted suiced was made legal then it would need heavy policing. otherwise you could have people saying thier family members wanted to die and gave them permission to kill them, when in reality they didnt and it was basically murder because the people just didnt want the financial strain etc
