Where do you get such weird ideas from...LOL!
I think those who approve euthanasia are more humane!! The question remains how to protect innocents falling in trap?

just came to my mind...weird or not...i'd like to hear ur outlook on it.
good day!

Well Mr. This is not a weird ideas... this is a reality, People sont want to suffer and people they dont see people suffering.. its all case to case basis and! being fair for both side!!!
You are not from a age stone right?, or even u are not from a cage place.. thats cant see the world!!!
Euthanasia isnot a trap!! its all in your hand if u did the wrong move..
Greetings from Bahrain

Oh thanks my dear lady for the sweet greetings! In a hurry to reply your eyes missed my concluding gesture that said -LOL!
You did not even take notice of my opinion where I proclaimed mercy killing as a humane thing. Stone age or modern age ...some ideas are deeply embedded in our skins. Under the same concept death sentence has ceased to exist in many countries. Killing is killing -be it in mercy or whatever! Killing of innocent human beings in the name of war can be ...of course ... their political right !!

...maybe a request for "DNR" or DO NOT RESUSCITATE.
... just letting die, but never to kill.

But then... where is the question of euthanasia?
Btw what would you call killing a horse that had broken its leg for you?
I'm waiting for your PoV (point of view ...I mean)!

a horse is animal its not human anyway
but if a man broke a leg, stil he can be saved by an ortho surgery.

Hey girl! why should there be different sets of rule for men & animals ....btw? But ...someone called it also mercy-killing. I beg to differ here because the animal never wanted to die. It was its man who could not afford to feed a useless animal that had served him for years ...and even earned him lot of fame and money in races.

Same thing happens with man when he grows old and becomes useless. The family cannot support the parent and sends him to old-age home...

In the same context if a family member is suffering a dreaded desease with no hopes ... it's usually the other family members whose changing behavior makes the sufferer give up hopes. Some times he may decide in favor of euthanasia due to the love and affection and at times due to their sheer negligence.
That's the point I'm trying to make when I refer to 'trap'.

I've used 'He' at times not because of gender-biasedness ....but for convenience sake. Replace it with 'She' as appropriate ....

Yes ...I support your idea of DNR when they remove medical support and treatments from the patient without hopes to let him die in peace. People world over will commonly practice this until euthanasia is not legalized. Indirectly it's also an acceptable form of killing, though.

dont u think that human were created above all creatures?
god has prapared everything before he created man.
animals were prepared for man.

it is in there u can see how much god cares for us. how much important are we to him that he put everything we need before he created us.

it is us human that he gave instinct and made sacred than animals and plants

animals and plants are for us to live.

so, we must thank all this things to Him.

sufferings are just way of trials and making us stronger after all.

Hope is always there and never been gone. only we cant understand for sometimes, but as times passed by we understood.

euthanasia is not acceptable for me...and never will b.

thank u, PG

Thanks for your points. I appreciate your sentiments but I can react to it only at the risk of hurting them!

I consider this as a highly egotistic and self-centric approach, which has no value for other living things that nature (in your words -God) created. I wouldn't recommend us to be insensitive to just anything ...even the animals.

We must respect all creations (of God ....in your words). If we consume them that should be because we need ...and not because we want them.

God didn't make man any superior ....man emerged as a superior species among others ....based on his intelligence. If God had created anything .....that would be a big mass of gaseous substance that resulted into Big bang ...creating trillions of trillions of celestial bodies -our planet earth being one of them.
If God would have created something ....that might have been amoeba (?) ...that in turn converted into many living and non-living things ....one of those conversions resulted into man ...through a long process of evolution.

Terminally ill people given the chance to die with some dignity without having to lay for months or even years in a room running up massive debts for their children or tax payers...how can letting them die on their terms be a bad thing.

I aggreed to u, well as i said ill people desrved to rest ina right way.. than suffring all of her/his family by taking good care of him/her and paying so much bliis..
And offcourse its about on the patient decisions, or the whole family decions they should be both agree!!!

kiss from bahrain

Here you made my point clear. What I meant by 'trap' was the ignorance of family members that could provoke a sick person to take decision in favor of euthanasia as a remedy to end his/her painful life. It's possible that one preferred to die rather than prolonging agonies caused by his/her own family more than the dreaded desease !!
Thanks for supporting my statement !!!

Its a solid statement...my pleasure.

Geeee! KS: I may sound impractical to some. But I talk like that because I am from India, and the family values are very deeply rooted in Indians.
Now the times are changing though ....and a few may already be looking for this to become lawful in India too -families more than the patients. That's sickening!

A person who is suffering and should be able to make a choice

Hey Kevin: You know the old saying- make the seat too hot for someone to sit rather than asking him to leave. That might hold good for a few.
That person is suffering for two reasons -his fight against the desease and the question of survival of his family. He'll sacrifice his wishes to live longer for his dear ones who suffer with him ...!

Possibly...it a tough situation

Hey! You are smart Kevin. ...Make me do all the writing ...huh? That's cool!!
I gotta go ...it's 00:15 down here. Later...

HAhahahaha ok PG take care. Have a good one

thank u maricris for such comments...
we hav same outlook...me too i'd rather die than having my family suffer of my sitution.
may god bless u

Strong point ...but well taken. That's more like my LJ ...lol!
