Only if the terminally ill patient has stated that wish in writting or verbally to his or her doctor. My father has terminal cancer and he has made his wishes known for some time now and I respect that and will do everything within my power to keep up with his wishes.
I know if it were me, I would want the same thing, I do not wish to be a burden on my family. We are also all organ donors.

Euthanasia is always a difficult decision to make, regardless whether one decide to end a human life or the life of a pet. I agree that if I am the patient, euthanasia is preferable to letting my loved ones suffer, especially with the expanese. However, I do not think I can mercifully end a person's life without forever feeling gulity. There would always be this "what if" question in my mind..."what if a cure is found?", "what if there is a new way to stop the pain?'etc. I do not think I can ever bring myself to do it.

thanx, for ur comment.
dont u think relieving one of his terminal agony (on his consent) and suffering is better than actually letting him go thru it!!!
having said this, LIFE is very important to the person concerned and his near and dear ones, its hard to let go but on a higher plane we are being elevated.
