For or Against Euthanasia

If I were to agree with that then I'd have to say suicide is okay,...and that I definately think is wrong...killing oneself is well, wrong

Why exactly is it "wrong" for someone to end their own life? I agree it's a sad thing but I don't see how it's wrong.

I really don't see any reason why someone who is on their deathbed and wants a quick death as oppose to a long, painful one should not be allow the right to do so. Yeah pain is a part of life but when somebody is about to die and doesn't wish to live anymore, the pain they suffer meanwhile is unnecessary suffering. They don't want to be here, the only reason they are in pain is because they are alive, what difference does it make for anyone other then themselves if they want to speed up the process?

Recently my step-aunt's 11 year old daughter died of cancer in the spine. She was complaining about backpains on Friday, got rushed to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that the cancer has spread rapidly and it was only a matter of a few days. She was on an oxygen tank keeping her alive until sunday when she asked them to take her off the oxygen tank to let her die. Is it a sad thing? Of course, it's extremely sad. But when somebody gets to the point where they are on their death bed and know that life will be nothing but pain for the rest of their time here, they should have the right to end it all quickly. I don't know if that's the same situation as when euthanasia would be used but it's the closest thing I could think of that that's happen to someone I know personally.

I agree, I don't think that suicide is right, but in some cases people feel like its the only option left. Its not a choice sometimes, its a dieces. I've seen people do it, and they might regret after if they didn't manidge to kill themself that they did it! But This isn't like suicide, suicide you're normally not sick!!! This is for people who ARE going to die, no matter what....

LOL thats funny

and I think when they say its Illegal as in a cop goes walking down the street and sees a woman on the top of a building readi to kill her self, he can climb all the way to the top and then put her into custody 😬

as for Euthnasia, if the person is in real pain I'd accept it

I think someone just randomly commiting suicide is wrong because it seems sorta selfish to leave your family and friends like that but euthenasia is different. If you are going to die slowly and horribly it is better to save yourself and your family that suffering.

Yeah why is killing yourself wrong? It's your life so why is it wrong? Hmm...yeah if you're in extreme pain and don't want to live like that then fine you should be able to choose if you want to die...or you can choose if you want to live so then it's fair both ways.

I'm for it in almost every condition

yup! and ooh i love your avvy Fire 😄

I was against it until my grandma was in the hospital for 3 months with a breathing tube, and was told she would never get out after a heart surgery. She asked that it be done to her, she was slowly dieing.

And then what happened?

geez we should just condone abortion, euthanasia, death penalty for stealing, lying, cheating, etc, suicide...then the world pop might decline a bit *rolls eyes*

lol not the death penalty but all the others

If the person wan'ts to die and they have a shitty life I okey with it but I am against somebody saying there too old and just killing them

Abortion: Yes.
Euthanasia: Given the situation and proper agreement, Yes.
Death Penalty: No.

The rest happen anyway and will continue to.

I'm with AC on this one

Depends on the situation. If the person is in constant pain, has no chance for recovery, is dying a slow and agonizing death, and more importantly WANTS to die, then yes I believe euthansia is acceptable.

abortion: sometimes if like the baby is deformed

death penelty: Yes

euthanasia: sometimes

My response would probably be deleted.

Napalm, why are you not totally for abortion, yet completely for the death penalty?

Illogical.

Abortion is necessary, the death penalty isn't. It's just a cop out for your shit prison system.
