Yes, I believe that a person has the right to die with dignity!. If I was terminally ill and in a vegetable state, I would want to die so my children wouldn't have the burden of the medical cost of keeping my body alive when my spirit has already left!. I would leave my body to science so that medical students would have something to play(learn) with!. I think when they have organs that has not been (embalmed)sorry that's not the word that I'm looking for but the closes thing I can come up with at the moment: it gives them more prospected view of what is real in the human body, and how our life style affects our organs and body!.
I think everyone deserves a choice,but it should be made when a person is if sound mind and body; not after they become terminally ill!.
I hope I have helped with your survey;Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have often had this discussion in class when i was studying not so long ago and as i said then, no, i still dont really believe in euthanasia because, we have a time to be born and a time to die!. Even if the quality of life is not very good, its still life and pain these days can be well controlled by drugs and meds!. If euthanasia was made legal, there would be quite a few deaths that would be questionable (for example, did they really want to die, or were they killed for their money etc, or for convenience)!. So, i still think it shouldn't really be allowed!. Although, if someone wants to go to Switzerland (where it is legal), then that is up to them!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do!.

I think suicide should be decriminalized!.
I think people should be allowed to determine when they want their lives to be over!. I do not see how it is the business of government or religion to stop a person from making that choice!.
Yes, I believe it is appropriate to euthanize a person who is terminally ill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

voluntarily ending a highly evolved moral pattern that is a human being is unacceptable unless higher evolved moral patterns benefit or are saved and nothing less than that sacrifice can have the same result!. The only instance i know i can accept is a man willing to die for a belief and they have to be of higer of moral worth like society or a great tenet - not his personal beliefs!.

killing a person in unbearable pain is tempting if they make you aware they wish to die and you love them but every moment can become a special one every last moment could change the world by laying down patterns that extend beyond their death!. I can't say for definite i wouldn't do it but i feel it is a wrong action to take killing someone you love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Frankly speaking I am not able to apply my mind on this!. Whether to say yes or not!. I am still not able to think or apply my mind!. It is a painful decision of course!. Whether to say in favor or not to favor the proposal is all a big dilemma!. That is why even some of the Governments are, therefore, not still able to give a proper word on this issue!. Legal experts are also not able to apply their mind!. My mind is not allowing me to go beyond certain steps, since it is a tough and difficult decision for anybody who has got humane heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes they should be able to choose if they want to die or keep suffering through treatments!. The big drug companies and medical suppliers will never let this happen because the longer they can keep a terminally ill person alive the more money they make!. This is the same reason we will never get a cure for cancer or HIV/AIDS!. The money is in the treatment not the cure!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, everyone has the right to life, and others do not have the right to decide whether or not to let them keep it or take it!. If the person asks for their life to be taken away, and it is clear that they are sincere about this and it makes sense, then I say we have no right in keeping them alive against their will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes,because they are in charge of their own destiny and it's their choice and they are the ones that are suffering so,we shouldn't be allowed to make a decision for them!.Especially in cases where cancer,or well you know painful deaths will occur!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!.!.I follow the 10 commandments and the thou shalt not kill is on the list!. It does not have an exception that says "unless the person is terminally ill"!. Anytime the taking of life is allowed we as humans are going down a slippery slope!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends on the person that is suffering and wants out!. if they are in a stable state of mind and in a terrible amount of pain say like cancer and they are terminal than yes i believe that it is ok!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do, however I also think that if we allow it then people will abuse it for their own good!. It is wrong to let people live on in pain, but thats the society that we have built with modern medicine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No to euthanasia, yes to assisted suicide!. It should be allowed when a person requests help to die, if they can't be talked out of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. A person ought to be able to determine their own fate!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely!. If they can't even say when and how they would like to die, then why even bother living!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
