What do you think about euthanasia?

It is legal in my country and I have already signed the papers. Just in case I was left in a bed like a vegetable.

Being a Catholic country, I dont see it getting approved in our country. I hope to go to Switzerland LOL.

There should be a will to opt for euthanasia should the situation demand it but without it there could be relatives who would do that in their own itnterest.

This is one of those gray areas there is no right or wrong answer to the question its a double edge sword sort of speak. When you think about someone you love you don't want them to suffer and be in pain but could you take their life whether, they want you to or not? If your choice, it for yourself how will it leave those around you feeling?

If I were bedridden and couldn’t take care of myself, Id appreciate it.

To be honest, I am not totally sure how I feel about it all. However, I can understand why people would want that under certain circumstances. We have all known someone who has reached the point that they have absolutely NO quality of life. They are out of their heads, or in such terrific pain that even strong medications don't work, can't eat of sleep or even think anymore...you know, none of us want that for ourselves or for anyone else, either. It's not only a very hard way to die, it's hard to watch. I would think the hardest thing about this decision is if you decided to do this but wanted to wait until you had reached a certain point, and had to trust that decision to someone else as to decide when it would happen. No one really knows how people's minds work in those situations, the responsibility of it all could be overwhelming, I would think.

I think it should be available everywhere.

it's not legal in Indonesia, it is differences of opinion that cause it to be invalidated.

I am all for it, sounds so scary and sure it is but the suffering. Hell no. Do the right thing. Put people to rest so they can see better days in the next life.

It is against religion but yes it would be preferable to being bed ridden and children having to cope.

For me it's not good to end life that way. It's not God's purpose to stop human suffering though killing the self. Better pray to live too long without a sickness.

euthanasia should not be approved

You know, I'm not against that. Especially when there is no hope of recovery with a fatal illness. It would be considered the merciful thing to do. Hospice is a form of this, letting someone die with dignity and peace.

I support it. Everyone has their freedom to continue or end their life.

It’s legal in Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and a few other countries I can’t remember, as well as several states in America, which includes: Oregon, California, Vermont, Washington, a couple more, plus Washington D.C.. I read a story about two “older”, but not elderly, sisters who went to Switzerland for vacation. What they didn’t tell their family was that they went there to die. They had a lot of health problems, and decided that is how they wanted to go. It wasn’t until the family took out a missing persons report that they found out the truth. My dad always said his biggest fear was needing someone to wipe his own rear someday. I don’t know if I could ever go through with something like euthanasia, but I’m certainly not going to judge any person who does.

If a person can no longer take care of themselves it would be the thing to do.

If I was in a lot of pain yes

I'm not in favor of euthanasia.

i wish it was legal in my country. If it was legal, I prefer euthanasia, I often think I want to die by euthanasia. it looks like euthanasia doesn't feel painful, although I don't know for sure

I feel the same way. I'd rather not be a burden to anyone. It's best for my loved ones to move on and wipe away their tears sooner instead of spending their precious time and hard-earned money to keep me alive when they could focus on their lives together with their new family.
