some doctor guy is claiming that all forms on euthanasia should be allowed, even when the person is unable to consent themselves
i don't agree with that personally, i agree with consented euthanasia, but this is pushing it a bit far and sets a scary precedant

if treatment was going to be withdrawn which would kill them, im happy to see painkillers etc administered but otherwise nah
not forgetting if someone is braindead or soemthing, well they dont feel anything anyway
It's murder.
Quite. There's a slippery slope and anybody tolerating involuntary euthanasia is by definition accepting the kind of euthanasia programme seen in Nazi Germany. Although I believe euthanasia in any form is completely wrong. (As do most patient/disabled rights groups).
Terminal diagnosis or not, taking life without consent is not appropriate in a medical setting.
It really does depend though. Im not sure what i think about it. Ive seen patients in such an awful state and wished they could just die. Youd give a dog more dignity than that.
On the other hand, if they cant give their consent, then its probably for the best that the law stays as it is, as it so easily could be the start of a slippery slope.
:yes:
Nothing else to say.
yup my feelings
giving painkillers after wthdrawing treatment to keep them alive = fine
anything more, nah
consented euthanasia = perfectly allowable for me, don't allow it to be presented as an option, someone needs to ask for it specifically though
I'm with you on this.
