Euthanasia also known as mercy killing, moral or immoral? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. haedescanes (525)3 years ago

have you ever got a very old and sick parents or grandparent? Are they just breathing because of all the hospital gadgets attached to them? would you remove these gadgets and let the person die so that his suffering will end? If you do that would your conscience hunt you or not? Do you see it moral or it's just the right thing to do and decide if the person dies to end his suffering or not? I guess there would always be a moral issue on this matter. For me, i would rather wait for their time to die than let my conscience hunt me forever because of the actions i have done. Let God have mercy and He will do the rest.

I am healthy now so I think that people should be allowed to terminate their lives when they wish.

When I am sick will I change my mind? Will I long for another dawn?

Hard to tell if you are not in that situation.

i respect your idea of terminating others lie. But what if this person is unconscious. What he can't talk nor open his eyes,and only the hospital gadgets make him alive. would you still terminate his life? you can't ask permission and he cant wish for it because he is too weak. What will you do?

I believe in the right of dying with dignity.But if someone is unable to make known his or her decision,those who really love him or her should let him or her die naturally, that is, not try to live longer suffering unnameable pain physically and mentally with the help of medical instrument.We should not be selfish.

I think if a person is in a great deal of pain or is told the chances of survival are slim, assisted suicide should be an option.

If someone told me I had cancer and there was no hope, I wouldn't put myself through chemo and radiation txs. I'd off myself as soon as it got bad. I'm not going to let my remaining time on earth be filled with pain and agony.

If you want to die, that's your business. We put our pets to sleep when they are in pain, so why can't we put our humans down when they are in pain and have a non curable disease?

I've told my family and friends that I do not want to be hooked up to vents and machines. Pull the plug with both hands and let me die. Donate all my organs.
