[QUOTE=Drury;30179652]That's actually a pretty good idea... A bit weird, but I see something really good behind it.[/QUOTE] the good thing is that if it collapses and kills everyone then nobody will care

You'd need to factor in the whole 'Sanctity of life' argument and that god should be the one to decide.
[QUOTE=sltlamina;30179557]If I get told I have like a week left to live I'm gonna spend half of that week finding and organising the best way to die (without anyone knowing of course). Why put yourself down with a chemical when you could snort gratuitous quantities of coke then dive out of a plane naked while aiming to fall in a woodchipper (or something equally as extravagant)? I want my death to be the most awesome thing I do in (or rather at the end of) my life. But yeah, euthanasia should be legal.[/QUOTE] What if you were bedridden and couldn't do that? But I agree, if I could I would do something crazy like that if I got told I had a day or so
[QUOTE=Boom_Hedshot;30178981]You don't want to do die, you don't want to do anything, seeing as you aren't sentient for the duration of your coma.[/QUOTE] I though you were still able to think in a coma, but you couldn't express it.
If the disease is terminal and entering the more advanced stages, the person is found to be of sound mental health and competency, and there's a third party representative to confirm (and observe) the procedure and the patient's agreement, then absolutely.
[QUOTE=rieda1589;30179393][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster[/url] Good way to go... :v:[/QUOTE] Honestly I think this is kind of degrading, dying on a rollercoaster with 23 other people? No thanks, I'd rather die of euthanasia in a hospital then die on a rollercoaster DESIGNED to kill people.
Depends on, if they are in a situation where their life won't improve. Like full body paralysis and they have to be hooked up to fuckloadof machines not to die, well then they should be allowed to, but if their situation can be improved, well then I don't think they can.
[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;30179718]You'd need to factor in the whole 'Sanctity of life' argument and that god should be the one to decide.[/QUOTE] god is not real why should people suffer because of "god" this should not be illegal
[QUOTE=krakadict;30180016]god is not real [B]why should people suffer because of "god" [/B] this should not be illegal[/QUOTE] The entire argument that it's against God's will is odd, because God would surely understand why you would end your life (and if he didn't he wouldn't be God.)
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;30180040]The entire argument that it's against God's will is odd, because God would surely understand why you would end your life (and if he didn't he wouldn't be God.)[/QUOTE] Not only that, but God is also meant to be all powerful, so couldn't he simply force events to go in a certain way to stop you from dying?
Alright boys turn this into a debate about religion and God!!! GO GO GO! No but seriously, i think it should be legal, but you would need to sign something, the Doctor who does it would need to sign off, if possible at least 2 family members should sign off on it also. And a psychologist should evaluate you and make sure your mentally stable and your making the decision for real and are not just insane.
I think while it should be legal, it should only be legal if you have a fatal disease.
It's just another means to stop suffering which cannot be helped in other ways. So yes, it should be legal.
Imo it should be legal for all and sold at every pharmacy. I am not good at chemistry, brewing my own poisons is not easy.
It should be legal, but only if the patient has no (or [i]very[/i] litte) chance of surviving.
[QUOTE=DrLuke;30179127]Euthanasia will be abused. I think it shouldn't be allowed. By abuse I mean that doctors will administer patients some poison and afterwards say "It was their will", as it's happening in the netherlands.[/QUOTE] Wait what? :v: What's happening in the Netherlands?
- "Alright Mr. Johnnson. Just sign here and here and we will kill off your daughter so that she doesnt have to suffer anymore." - "Excellent" [img]http://agentpink.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/fritzl.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;30181824]Haven't you already made this thread? Jesus christ we don't need another one of these..[/QUOTE] I've never made a thread on this?... I certainly haven't seen one recently either?
Of course it should be legal. Without life support they would be dead anyway.
FP's talent for bringing politics into a subject that has absolutely NOTHING to do with it always astounds me. :allears:
I've always wondered, if a person is physically healthy but is suicidal why not provide a safe and painless means of dying that doesn't damage organs for donation in exchange for the donation of said organs. It'd save lives.
I can't help but be against it.
Yes. "Life is a gift and you should not take it for granted" What kind of a life is it if you're paralyzed from neck down. If someone has a physical condition that makes it impossible for that person live life the fullest and he wishes to die, he should have the right to do so.

[QUOTE=Strongbad;30182847]Shouldn't you be out beating up some kids right about now?[/QUOTE] My daily dosage of beating up kids is full already.
[QUOTE=Boom_Hedshot;30178911]Their debt falls on their next of kin, and whatever children or responsibilities they have are now in the hands of someone else. Those things have to be considered first.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's no longer legal to just move someone's debt onto their kid because they've died.
[quote]Should euthanasia be legal?[/quote] Yes
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;30180040]The entire argument that it's against God's will is odd, because God would surely understand why you would end your life (and if he didn't he wouldn't be God.)[/QUOTE] They claim that god wants you to suffer and that it's part of his plan. If it were true and god were to be real, going along with what some of those people claim I'd rather burn in hell than be forced to live in the presence of such a back-wards ass prick. On the other hand, if Machiavelli taught me anything its that sometimes a ruler has to let his people suffer for their own good. A world without pain would raise a lot of people in a horrible way. Which doesn't make sense if he were to be omnipotent because he could just bypass all that stuff.
[QUOTE=Rygar69;30179492]If it's legal for a dog why not a human?[/QUOTE] Because Dogs are fucking dogs, they are not even close to being on the same plane as humans.
