In religious way, I think only GOD have that right privilege (if you believe in Him of course).
On humanity perspective, I think we all had that right. For example, if you sick and no cure for your sickness, die seem like best solution.
But these just my opinion, might different from others.

I agree with what you said but I have this question in the back of my mind..how do we ever know there is no cure for a sickness?? what if there was a spontaneous 'miracle' recovery. It's happened before where doctors can't explain why a patient recovered. I do agree it's an individual decision.

Everyone want that kind of miracle. If modern medication fail to cure, people tend to look alternative choice (shaman, for example). But is that really gonna work? I doubt it. 90% of alternative medication these days are fake or only cure some illness that modern medication can do too. But I can't deny one thing, alternative medication cheaper than modern.

Yes, we should. No one has the right to make someone suffer if they do not want this.
I feel the same about abortion. No one has the right to govern over a woman's body.

This is one of those really tough questions to answer. It depends on so many factors. Mostly I think it's an individual choice..no one can say or know how they would feel if they were in the situation.
I give respect to the one suffering..and their wishes. The really gut wrenching decision is when a chouice has to be made for another..and I'd hope they have some idea what the person's wishes are. God Bless all who are facing or will face this.

we are always told we have the right to choose in just about everything, exept wen it comes to taking a life. most of us would have seen the recent story line in emmerdale with aron and his partner, this is happening all over the world. there are so many people in prison today because they helped a love 1 die. i think we should have the right to die if your illness will cause pain to you and your loved ones. i would not think twice if a member of my family was in this position, i would help them go, to releave their suffering. we wouldnt stand buy and watch our pet suffer, so why should we do it with us. its a touchy subject and of corse every1 has different opinion. god help any1 who is suffering with this subject now.
