Doctor assisted suicide--What is your opinion?

I would agree with the doctors if they think that it would be useless to continue with the life support and would eventually make the patient vegetable for life. It's just my opinion.

that is a very controversial issue. More so if the country where it has happened has not given a legal validity to euthanasia. But in my opinion, even if there is no valid legality for euthanasia, it must be taken in consideration as to whose consent was sought by the doctor for doing it. If the permission was from the patient him/herself, then probably the doctor is not guilt. But if the consent is from the person other than the sufferer i.e. some relative of the patient, then the doctor is definitely at guilt and must undergo a legal action.

I was not in that situation where everything is too crucial, I would not pass any judgement against the doctor. If I was in the Doctor's shoes I might as well did it or might not. I am not sure how excruciating the pain was for the Multiple Sclerosis patient, But she really decided that she die instead of enduring the pain that she cannot tolerate anymore. It is almost similar to Euthanasia the only difference is that it was decided by the physician and the Patient, I am not sure how involved the family was. This issue is very critical it really would bring up a lot of point regarding human ethics.

Honestly, until we are in that possition we really do not know what we will do. I would not want to suffer, and may want it for myself though. But, on the other hand, I don't think I can, as I will not go to heaven even though I am saved. It's a hard call, I may just have to suffer I guess.

I have told my family that I do not wish to prolong my life it I am no longer able to care for myself. I hope that they honor my wishes if it ever becomes necessary.

I think it would depend on a lot of things. First off though, it is in a sense someone playing GOD. Nobody has that right to give or take a life except God. (Just my thoughts)I think if there is absolutely no way possible under the sun that someone would get better, and they were continuing to worsen as the days go by and truely visibly suffering, I think a doctor should have the rgiht to discuss it with the family as an option. It is like pulling a plug on someone on life support. It should be thought out with deepest and utmost concern and discression. It is up there with abortion (almost). It works for some and doesn't for others. It should be talked about with the patient if possible.

kill'em all,oops butmake sure that you have your boots on when you go to the doctor,yep.
