Euthanasia, yes or no?

@Porcospino A team of doctors here are in charge to decide if they can accept the request for euthanasia and ONLY the person concerned can ask. This is to avoid abuse from greedy family members. In the case the person is so sick not even to be able to ask, a commission can decide if they judge that it is a legit request from the family.

It doesn't exist in my country either, but I would really like to see it introduced in our country. Many go through real hell because of their illness, and that would make it easier for them.

@LadyDuck That makes sense. Otherwise some family members might abuse it. A Danish politician wants to introduce euthanasia here. She has terminal cancer and she has decided a long time ago that she will ask for euthanasia in Switzerland when the time comes. A euthanasia law in Denmark will not help her personally. She will die before euthanasia becomes legal, but she wants to make euthanasia available for other Danes. It won't be easy, because many other politicians are against the idea.

I absolutely agree with you. People here generally find it inhumane, and I don't understand it. So is it humane to watch our family members torture themselves and not be able to help them?

@Nevena83 When you know that someone has to die, why to make that person suffer? I know that I would have helped my mom, it broke my heart to see her like that, but in Italy it is a crime.

@LadyDuck I absolutely agree with you. Yes, it is horrible to watch suffering people, and we cannot help them.

I'm glad to hear that, because I really think it's help to those who are no longer helped.

@Nevena83 God should be the one in control of one's life, not someone else.

Why don't you support?

@just4him I agree with you, but then why do some people make it easier for animals and they are God's beings?

@Nevena83 I have not really thought about it. For me as a Christian, it is still killing.

That means you don't support it? But it's not killing. It is a relief for someone to suffer no more. People put their pets to sleep because they don't want to suffer, why don't people deserve dignity?

@thelme55 I understand you, I'm a Christian Orthodox too, and our faith says it's murder, but ...

@Nevena83 But why are you asking this question??

Ah, I understand. What is your opinion on this?

@Shivram59 I absolutely agree with you.

People who have cancer, and who are unhelpful, often survive hell because their body cancels them and they can never die. I think euthanasia is something humane, unfortunately many people think the opposite.

I absolutely agree with you. It's a humane way for people to die with dignity.

I think all states should introduce it.

That's great. I support it too, but I'm not sure when it will be introduced here.

I know this is a very difficult question.

@Nevena83 I think it is sad but also is sad to watch people who want to die.

@Moon24 But don't you think it's saddening to see people who are helpless and can't easily die?

Really? Why not?
