have you ever got a very old and sick parents or grandparent? Are they just breathing because of all the hospital gadgets attached to them? would you remove these gadgets and let the person die so that his suffering will end? If you do that would your conscience hunt you or not? Do you see it moral or it's just the right thing to do and decide if the person dies to end his suffering or not? I guess there would always be a moral issue on this matter. For me, i would rather wait for their time to die than let my conscience hunt me forever because of the actions i have done. Let God have mercy and He will do the rest.

I am healthy now so I think that people should be allowed to terminate their lives when they wish.
When I am sick will I change my mind? Will I long for another dawn?
Hard to tell if you are not in that situation.

i respect your idea of terminating others lie. But what if this person is unconscious. What he can't talk nor open his eyes,and only the hospital gadgets make him alive. would you still terminate his life? you can't ask permission and he cant wish for it because he is too weak. What will you do?

I believe in the right of dying with dignity.But if someone is unable to make known his or her decision,those who really love him or her should let him or her die naturally, that is, not try to live longer suffering unnameable pain physically and mentally with the help of medical instrument.We should not be selfish.
