In my veiw people should have the right to die if they so wish. those with terminal illness who no longer want to suffer should have that right. lets face it we dont think twice about having animalss put to sleep if they have a terminal illness or are badly injured so why not give the same respect to people

Thank you for your viewpoint, i also believe that if someones quality of life is well below normal, especially where they live in constant pain and there is no cure for it, then euthanasia to me is acceptable.

However i also believe that this should be judged in a court of law, given the right medical history and viewpoint of doctors involved in the case. Other than this there is too much grey area leaving it open to abuse for cases of murder for inheritance and so forth.

I have also brought up your view on why we do not flinch when it comes to animals, given the fact that we are a country of animal lovers, and in all fairness we are but animals ourselves, just the alleged most clever version.

Thank you once more LD.
