in my opinion Dr. jack kavorkian was a hero. He saved people from the unbearable sugffering of terminal illness. oh what a horrible think (sarcastically). We are the kings of our own minds and bodies and ultimately our own lives. if we are sick and dying we should have the power to decide how and when to end it. if we cannot then someone who we appoint should be able to decide that. How can we judge when we do not suffer the way these sick people do?

Side: Should be allowed.

I think euthanasia should be allowed for

old people (old people can make wise decisions and not young people and middle age people)

And/or

If the pain can't be relieved except death.

Side: Should be allowed.

If a person is suffering and in a lot of pain and the doctor says the person is not going to get any better, the patient should have the option to end his/her life in dignity.

Yes, I agree with this. If you know you will live the rest of your life under extreme pain or other horrible disease, wouldn't you want the choice?

Euthanasia is simply a bad idea. One should not be making any kind of decisions when horribly diseased or ill, letting alone a life or death one. Many people are prone to making rash decisions. Think of how many people have thought, "Man I just really want to die," and have gone on to make successful recoveries. Euthanasia would just be abused.

The doctor must have the depression that they killed the parson. And the family will be said and if someone wants to Euthanasia, they should ask to their family. Don't be sad.
