Okay... Hunk in grave:.. I am well aware that euthanasia is something u provide to end a pain of dear one or self. But, my dear, are not we all enveloped in worldy pain in one way or the other ... which is actually more unbearable..than the physical pains inflicted upon you. But putting that question aside, there still is so many facets to this issue.... like Neupane says. And ofcourse legality? really a freedom of chice??? Lets say, for Terry's case.. how could one be really sure what SHE had wanted in the depth of her being?? ....SORRY i am a vegetarian..and for the exact reason. But that does not mean I abhor the ppl who eat meat. goat is meant to be eaten... it is provoided to you (by GOD or whoever you would rather.... that SUPREME power).....for your conveneinece, this is why we are on the highest tier of biological pyramid. Anyways, Hunk in the grave, when you know that no technology, surgeon or medicine can save the person and he will have to bear the pain all by himself until he dies..... then u gotta believe there is SOME POWER SUPERIOR TO YOU. U could be deplete of options but that power would not be. THusm, see.. I am being actually more pragmatic here. Euthanasia is NOT pragmatism, it is running away from pain, and more of being enslaved to your sentiments, then being practical. where does legal issues tand hre then/ Scarlett... u r right.. euthanasia can never truly be justified!
