Spoken by someone who obviously is not terminally ill and/or suffering with severe crippling chronic pain. If your dog is laying there crying out with pain from a terminal disease that your vet has identified, are you going to make it lay there and suffer? likely not, as you will do the "HUMANE" thing and let the vet perform euthanasia because you love the animal as much as a family member. Family members are made to suffer till their end with drugs made to prolong their agony, for our own vanity.
Many terminally ill patients who are in the final stages of their lives have requested doctors to aid them in exercising active euthanasia. It is sad to realize that these people are in great agony and that to them the only hope of bringing that agony to a halt is through assisted suicide.. Euthanasia is the act of putting someone to death painlessly, or allowing a person suffering from an incurable and painful disease or condition to die by withholding extreme medical measures. A compassionate individual must conclude that competent terminal patients should be given the right to assisted suicide in order to end their suffering, reduce the damaging financial effects of hospital care on their families, and preserve the individual right of people to determine their own fate.
Medical technology is science’s greatest gift to mankind. For the terminally ill, however, it is just a means of prolonging suffering. Medicine is supposed to alleviate the suffering that a patient undergoes.Yet the only thing that medical technology does for a dying patient is give that patient more pain and agony day after day.
Terminally ill patients should have the right to assisted suicide because it is the best means for them to end the pain caused by an illness which no drug can cure. A competent terminal patient must have the option of assisted suicide because it is in the best interest of that person.
Don't bother quoting with another reply. It's simply not worth it.
