Euthanasia....For or Against?

It would depend on the cicumstances, in some cases it's a blessing in disguise

Euthanasia is a rejection of the importance and value of human life...

People who support euthanasia often say that it is already considered permissible to take human life under some circumstances such as self defense, but they miss the point that when one kills for self defense they are saving innocent life, either their own or someone else's...

With euthanasia no ones life is being saved, life is only taken....

People for euthanasia say that voluntary euthanasia will not lead to involuntary euthanasia. They look at things as simply black and white. In real life there would be millions of situations each year where cases would not fall clearly into either category. Here is one:

An elderly person in a nursing home, who can barely understand a breakfast menu, is asked to sign a form consenting to be killed. Is this voluntary or involuntary? Will they be protected by the law? How? Right now the overall prohibition on killing stands in the way. Once one signature can sign away a person's life, what can be as strong a protection as the current absolute prohibition on direct killing? Answer: nothing...

I will never support Euthanasia...

I'm against it.

Life's a gift and a privilege, not a right. Yes, someone may want to die because of the pain and suffering but they must take into account, other people. To be euthanized they need someone else to partake and if i recall correctly, euthanasia is only legal in three places in the world. Therefore, everywhere else it is illegal. You can't expect someone to kill you and just be set free because it was what you wanted. Once you're gone, they'll go to prison for assisted suicide, they'll be stuck behind bars, your family will be mourning for you and the hospital that took care of you will probably be in some sort of trouble.

Euthanasia is just as selfish as suicide itself. It involves society to make the laws and other people to preform the action. You can't make laws based on emotive arguments. Patients don't have to take extra ordinary means to stay alive but they should at least try to stay alive and not take the easy way out. Besides there are many other alternatives, they can go to a hospice or ask to be taken home so they can die there. Patients may argue that they have a very bad quality of life but there is no quality of life if the patients dead. It's better to have a low quality of life than no quality of life.

If someone wants to die, they should kill themself and not make family, friends or doctors do it for them. Euthanasia is no different from murder, the only difference is that it's voluntary death.

I am not against but there's a thin line separating euthanasia and murder, so dont do it for money, dont do it for personal vengence and definitely not because you are a psychopath doc who euthanize you patients..

I guess euthanasia is okay for people with terminal disease, brain dead patients on life support, and for patients who are counting their last days and live in so so much of pain.

I'm against it simply because I think it's too hard to regulate. Therefore I think that whilst it is in some cases it's a good thing especially in regard to people that are not physically able to take their own lives, it's not possible to decide what an acceptable reason to terminate a life is.

I'm kinda for it because of the reason you said, but I'd hate to take away a life =[
