For those of you who do not know what euthanasia means...it means being put to death when there is no chance for recovery from a medical condition and the medical establishment uses a "method" which accelerates your death. Remember the tragic Terri Schaivo case last year?
I think this is a very personal decision people should make. I myself have made up a living will to do deal with this matter. A living will sets out what should be done in a situation like this by medical personnel. There can be no lawsuits, no appeals, etc. Your wishes will be carried out. I would be interested in hearing about opinions on this very controversial subject.

I too believe it is a very personal decision. I hated seeing that case all over the news, I felt so bad for Terri.
I made sure a long time ago to have my living will done too. I don't want anyone to have to make those decisions on my behalf ~ that would be too hard on them. I have discussed it with all of my family members so they know exactly what I want done should that situation arise.
Very good discussion topic.
