Simple put: Do you think that euthanasia should be legal (wherever you live, or globally)?
(Incase you do not know what euthanasia is, wikipedia puts it as: [B]Euthanasia[/B] refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering, i.e. suicide by proxy)
I think that euthanasia should be legalized, as I believe that a person's suffering should not be prolonged is they do not wish for it to be.
However, the "system" for euthanasia should be sophisticated enough to get a proper consent, and people are only euthanized at proper
clinics as to prevent the use of euthanasia as a excuse for mercy, honour, or general killing
On a slightly more controversial note, (as I see it) as the population of Earth is increasing considerably, at one point the population will exceed the maximum sustainable population on Earth (i.e. food, water, infrastructure etc..). When this happens, the quality of life as a general on Earth will decrese considerably
If at this point we have not found some sort of technological solution (e.g. easy almost limitless energy, fast space travel to settle other planets, or some other solution), forced euthanization will have to be brought in to control the population. Some people might think that this smacks of eugenics, but it will only be a last-choice solution, and only if we havent found said solution.
Great post, but there is a thread about this already, so I'll lock this thread.
