[QUOTE=BrickInHead;43905127]this is gonna sound super out there but if a child isn't allowed to consent to sex why should they permitted to consent to end their own lives? it's the same logic, they're not capable of understanding the full consequences of such an act[/QUOTE]
That's why medical professionals and specialists, the parents, and the child have to agree in addition to other legal and medical safeguards before a decision can be made, assuming you are even eligible to begin with.

It's completely different. If a child doesn't have sex, does it cause them extreme physical and mental pain? No, well if a child is denied voluntary, parent and doctor approved euthanasia when they are in pain and terminal in the short term, they are put through a needless period of time of very bad pain and slow death.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43905100]i don't think children have the mental capacity to make the decision to end their own lives, and i don't think people should be able to make it for them[/QUOTE]
So basically, children should be left suffering and in pain until they finally expire? I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and bet you have no real experience with physical suffering.
[QUOTE=sYnced;43904869]whats a terminal child[/QUOTE]
it's like when you use a local area network to get a shitty child to use the brain power of a super smart child and then have the shitty child output the results as if the shitty child had done all the thinking
so it's a youthanasia?
[QUOTE=Lachz0r;43904955]another question: what gives someone the right to decide that someone else is in too much pain to live? (as i said though, i'd support this in the case of like, hard out coma or catatonic people) and if it's up to the child to decide, can we really say children are mature enough to consent to their own death?[/QUOTE]
Maturity doesn't affect the thought, "I do not want to die in pain." Or, "This is too much pain."
