Is it erhecical to allow a person with a terminal illness to end their own life. Euthanasia is, as we all know, permitted in some European countries should the same rights be afforded to UK citizens? I am interested to hear view points on this as it has affected a loved one in the past. |

I couldn't say with any authority if its right or wrong, but from the outside, it appears that a lot of people are denied their dignity in their final days, weeks, months because it could be abused by people with bad intentions |

It should be, but the legalities of enshring it wouldn't be taken advantage of would be a nightmare.
I've watched two people suffer at the hands of Cancer, wasting away in agony. Also had to watch my step-dad die by basically drowning in his own fluids. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
To ease the suffering of those in pain, i'd say yes. |

This has always been a very interesting topic for debate ...I remember talking about this at schoold...
It's one that (and correct me if I'm wrong) a huge percentage of people will agree with but as the Kinkybutler has said I fear it would only be used and abused in so many cases. |

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that.

My mum had a dementive condition and I know if someone had offered her a sunny afternoon in her garden with her kids and grand kids then to peacefully check out against threes years of humiliation I know what she would have chosen. |

I believe that we should have full ownership of our body and life - what we do with it, put into it, sexually engage freely and decommission from life. It just needs the right legal framework and control mechanisms to prevent abuse from others. |

Yes we have more control over a dogs suffering than we do our own |
