Euthanasia ( Archived) (43)

You cant.Being a 100% is difflecult,and the questions posed to them would have to be very well thought out.

Then if you're not concerned for the elderly and vulnerable in the rest of society then it's probably be better to keep it illegal, and you can use your free will to travel somewhere that has legalised euphanasia.

Maybe. However, if you wanted the return of eugenics in society, euphanasia would be the obvious starting point - that's not saying you agree with eugenics.

Yes. I think euphanasia would probably work as planned for some time, but as time goes on euphanasia wouldn't even be a moral issue and once that mindset is established, what would then be the next boundary to cross?

Your point is very interesting.
If I were interested about other, what can I do for them?
nothing!
If I were not interested about other, what I will do for them?
nothing!
Euthanasia is a very personal decision, make it legal or ilegal.
(and I do not care about being legal or ilegal, so sue me)

You cast a vote or even share an opinion, and the effects of that go beyond you.

You wouldn't be, indeed, couldn't be what you are now without everyone & everything around you.

Your actions, or inactions, have repurcussions for others whether you care for if they do or not.

It is a personal decision of course, but the OP was asking about whether it should be legalised, and we're all subject to the law.

Wharever you have said here whatever I have...here,
nothing is going to change.

The differences would be so small that they hardly seem tangible, but if just one person learns something, or accepts another opinion as valid, then a change has occured. A change that may be miniscule, but what else could we expect when we're just a few people on a planet of billions?

I have no problem with the Youth In Asia !

The first dog I lost died of natural causes in the arms of a very pretty nurse. She told me he didn't struggle and wasn't at all frightened, very unusual for his condition. In her arms, I suspect he already thought he'd died and gone to heaven.

The second dog I lost, I made the decision to let him go because he was in pain and I knew that if I prolonged his life, it was for my benefit, not his. I felt like a murderess and I can honestly say, I was traumatised by the experience. He was my first experience of unconditional love.

The third dog I lost, just a few months ago was easier for me. She had a spinal tumour and it was as much the vet's decision as it was mine. She was my daughter's little dog. My daughter was there, six months pregnant and it was so upsetting for her, I thought she was going to go into labour. She was so looking forward to introducing her baby to her maternal little dog and childhood friend.

One can argue all the pros and cons of euthanasia, the release from pain, the rights of the person, the danger that people will chose to die rather than be a burden, the danger that people might wish to relieve themselves of a burdenous relative, whatever, but my feelings have changed with my different experiences.

Its easy enough to discuss euthanasia as a theory, its very different to actually experience it.

Imagine having to make those decisions for, or support a relative, maybe your child, through euthanasia.

I take my hat off to people, to parents who have supported and assisted their loved ones.

I believe euthanasia is a basic human right, but discussion is not the same as doing.
