Hi ya'll I just wanted to put in some info about Euthanasia. My main point is if you were in a position where you were to be bedridden all your remaining time, you cannot do anything for yourself at all do you still call it life? Would you not want the ability to end your life and avoid complete humilitation?
Just think if you had an accident and were paralysed what would you do! I would hope that if it ever happened to me that I would have the right to die with dignity.
Speak to someone who is very disabled and you may find that their life is empty. I understand some people can live life like that fine, but I for one couldn't.
I think people should havea right to die with dignity. However there must be laws set to try and overcome mercy killing and other homocidal activities. It will be hard to regulate but I feel that in the near future it will become a large issue and more people would push for it!

I can tell you one thing .Until it happens to you;You DO Not Know how you will take it. Having most of the able bodied world feel that way IS what puts trust in jeapardy. Everyone has a different line. Until you are disabled in a way you thought you would never chose to live BUT DO choose life ~~ It is hard to understand where quality of life may come from. All persons are diffferent.You will endure or do many things you would have not guessed before your life is over!

The main thing is the individual should have as much control as possible. It is easy to fool yourself into thinking you will have Control in the end, or the people around you that will decide as you would have wished. But if you do have choice,it should go the way you want. In the end, if you cannot decide at a critical moment~~ WHO can decide!
