even after finishing a paper in euthanasia, i'm still not convinced if it is legal at all... just too many angles to look at this issue. during the research about this topic, i met a lady nurse who agreed to let her mother go instead of treating her... her mother had cancer and was 79 years old, treatment going on for 5 years.... at a point, she decided that treatment was worthless and didn't make her mother able to do even basic things like eating, speaking etc... sounds horrible, mother killer... but what can we say... its better than throwing old parents through the cliff...as seen on one nepal tv serial...(actually they did not throw the old parents as their son told to keep the Doko so that he can throw them when they get old... haha)
