Human Euthanasia?!

Human Euthanasia?

I am just curious on people's perspectives about this. I know it is extremely contravercial and touchy. Do you think that it is okay to practice human euthanaia in extreme cases such as someone in your family is in so much pain and they just want to die because everyday is hell...or if you are in a vegetative stae and have been on life support for 6 years...is it okay then? What if you request that if anything happens to you where you are in pain or become a human vegetable, should it be okay to request the plugs be pulled and they give you a sedative that "puts you to sleep"? If the family okay's it, is it still okay to do?

Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

Thank you all for answering honestly. I greatly appreciate it as one of our family members as it is doesn't have a lot of time left after suffering 2 strokes and a heart attack in a week. She is in a lot of pain and it just got me to thinking about if it is alright for her to go if she really wants to go. My own opinion is that If grandma is in so much pain and wants to die, the doc should respect that...but I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Thanks very much.

I think that if anyone wants to die then they should be allowed to die. People who are suffering from depression (not painful disease) should seek therapy first though. To force someone who is suffering a slow death due to cancer or something similar to live is just cruel.

As for vegatative states, that one's a bit ticky. I think that the person closest to the vegger should make the decision of whether or not to pull the plug and only after the vegger has been ecvaluated by several doctors.
