Euthanasia. the dignity of a dying man

Tweet

I just got back from london practically eyes watering, because one of my closest relatives is dying from bone cancer in the base of his spine which is in it's final stages, what seriously broke my heart is the memories of him being a strong person of body and mind, being brought down to a frail and weak person not able to fight a losing battle anymore, begging the nurses and doctors to end his life, but they all kept saying that all they can do is make him comfortable. Seeing this man crying because he can not take it anymore is heart rendering. My point on this is I can not understand that if a person of sane mind who knows that they are going to die, then they should have the legal right to choose if they want to keep going to the very end or to request their life ending, giving them a dignified death. I can understand if someone is mentally unstable and has constantly tried to self harm, but everyone has their own reasons to end their lives. I would like to hear from everyones point of view on this subject.
