Whitney,
I am a 42 year old male and I was just talking about this subject with a co-worker of mine.
I believe euthanasia should be legalized as long as it is regulated. What is the purpose/goal of euthanasia? For the people who would decide to make this choice it is generally to die with dignity. To me quality of life is more important than how long you live. I for one would not want to live if couldn't be productive or if I became a burden to the people who love me. It is obviously not an easy choice and should not be taken lightly. In closing, why can't we show the same compassion for people as we do for our pets. When our pets get old and are suffering, what do we do, we make a decision to put them to sleep... peacefully.

I completely agree with anyone's right to die. I feel that if they no longer can live to their fullest then they should have the option to end their lives in a controlled and monitored setting. I think that the terminally ill should have assited euthanasia as an option to end their suffering when drugs and other treatments can no longer sustain them. I feel that it should be a part of every humans civil rights to choose to end their own life, I don't think that it's the type of thing that should be controlled or regulated by the government. It should ultimately be the patients decsion to end their suffering.
I think anyone who believes euthanasia is wrong should think of it like this: would you like to live in pain, and suffering, not able to enjoy the people and things you love? I didn't think so. Doctor- assisted suicide is just that, assisted by a doctor. The person made an informed choice that it would be better for them to die than go on living. Some may feel like this is a horrible, awful thing, but it's all about quality of life. Those who make the choice to die have had the opportunity to live a full and productive life. They are asking to take their own lives, but to do it in a humane (okay that word may sound a little out of place there, but think out it… it fits), peaceful, comfortable way. And it’s not just the person who wants to die’s life at stake. If they are deteriorating and will soon be in a vegetative state, the burden of taking care of them, paying their medical bills, etc, are all left to their family members. Now don’t get me wrong, I am in no way saying that this should be an opportunity for anyone and
