One question:
Who in the hell do you think you are to make the judgement call that some people forfeit the right to life?
Get down off the cloud. You, nor anyone else, has the right to make an official call on whether someone is worthy of living or not.
Some people don't deserve to live? True. Does that mean I have the right to go out and commit murder? No. Just coz idiots do it, doesn't mean it's any more right when the authorities do.
What if they're actually innocent? What then? If the prison system was better, the justice system too, the death penalty wouldn't be necessary.

euthanasia can never be considered murder for the simple reason that when you murder someone your intention was to ...well... murder someone (see also the difference between murder and manslaughter)
euthanasia is ending a life with the intention to ease the pain for the person, it's a very utilistic view if you just look at the effects of the action... and kinda stupid to do, you rather want one to live in pain for the next umptheen years before he/she dies a, still, painful death compared to immediat death without any pain
Sometimes parents just dying, is a luxury not afforded to most.
Sounds weird but, I'd rather my parent/s be ill and pass on rather quickly than like....being drawn out.
My mother cares for her mother fulltime. Has done so for 16 years, every single day almost. Along the way, cared for two aunts.
If I could have put them to rest deservedly, I would have.

Like I will write on the sign: "Don't blame me etc".
I'm not evil, just like irony. Evil? Evil is legalising murder by electrocution. That's evil. How barbaric do you wanna get? Some of the murders these guys GET the chair for aren't even as bad.
Imagine how it feels being a man with a family, sitting in the electric chair about to be killed, KNOWING you are innocent. Just imagine that. Just imagine what it must feel like, then tell me the Death Penalty is good. Or right.

Well...death penalty should be give only to horrific crimes...somebody like Hitler should be killed. Or somebody like Stalin.
And I just said that I agree that somepeople deserve death...not innocent people...
I think it should be made legal it always should be recognized that is more thenone type as well.
Not all times is it someone plugging you in like someone in jail who is on death row.
It can be as passive as stopping medication. Our system likes to force alot on the public especially whenever "medicine" is used in conjunction with the law. Like the mare fetus incubator laws!
