Do you support euthanasia?
Yes !

What is your opinion on euthanasia?
It's a decision that empowers the individual who is seeking or denying treatment . It's an end of life decision that particular individual empowered in making.

If applicable, under what circumstances do you support it?
An adult, able to make a clear decision based on facts, feelings and desires to make an end of life decision.
A representative of that specific individual, able to follow a directive.

Under what circumstances do you not support it?
An individual not mentally capable of distinguishing what an end of life decision means. If someone is mentally incapacitated through trauma , then hopefully that person has had the forethought to have previously initiated a legal decree designating an end of life procedure.

How should patients be euthanized (by this I mean should it be done by hospital practitioners, or should a patient be able to do it in the comfort of their home? Should a religious figure be permitted to do it? A loved one?)
That should be the privilege of the individual to chose what is most appropriate for them.

What regulations, if any, do you think should be put in place to stop it/regulate it/allow it?
There should be some element put in place to prohibit a 3rd party from making a choice contrary to an individuals desire (to accomplish or to deny euthanasia )
