Euthanasia
Since my research paper for my English class was on Euthanasia and I ticked off everyone in my class, except my teacher, with my view points I am going to raise the same questions and see if I get the same answers.
Euthanasia is open to those that have a terminal physical illness. But, what about a case where a person is emotionally unable to live their life? Do they have to live or can they seek a painless way out. Sure suicide is an option but its rather messy, a bullet implodes in the head and I really don't wanna be the one to look at it. OD'ing relaxes your spinchter muscles and you end up in your own excreta and again its not a pretty sight. But, euthanasia makes it painless and you can slip away without a show.
Think of this:
You are a dancer and thats all you know and you lose your legs.
You are a guitarist and thats all you have as a talent and a way of income and you lose your arm.
The woman/man you've been married to for 50 years suddenly dies.
Those are all emotional losses and yet none of those people would get the option of seeking euthanasia. But, if they had cancer that was terminal they could.

wow, that's a pretty deep subject. i would have to say that i'm all for people having the right to choose whether they live or die. personnaly i don't think i'd take that way out, but i've never been in any of those situations.
i am not impressed.

i dont think we have any right to stop these people from euthanasia. but a problem i see is that crooked people who perform these eithanasias might use some tactics for people who might be on that fence to persuade them towards euthanasia...and thats wrong any way you look at it.

Euthanasia - allowing a person to legally end his/her life under medical supervision. You are usually given a high dose of anaesthetics, the same stuff used in the lethal injection, you die within a minute.
