I also believe in human euthanization.
I am a cancer patient. Why shouldnt I have the right to decide to die peacefully instead of going through a long torturous painful death? Really?
I have made the decision to euthanize myself when the time comes.. I hve discussed this with my family. The only one that supports me is my sig other. Everyone else gave me crap about suicide is a sin and I will go to hell.
Suicide is a sin. Euthanisia should not be used as an excuse for someone to kill themselves just because no one gets them or whatever.
However, I am already dieing. My disease WILL kill me. If I go naturally, it will be a very long and painful death. I feel I have every right to choose to die more comfortably.
I have discussed this with lawyers as well. The only way to avoid someone being charged with murder is to do it at home alone, at time when I would normally be alone, and leave a note. I cant even have my partner (soulmate and best friend) with me when I die without risking him being charged for murder. Ofcourse I dont want that. But I would rather die alone than in pain.
I dont think euthanasia should be performed on children though. I think only the pateint can make that decision, and only an adult. If children were allowed, parents would start 'euthanizing' their children simply bc the parent cant handle the extra work in taking care of an ill or handicapped child.
