I think some of you are mixing up euthanasia with assisted suicide. I believe in assisted suicide, though it is a concept that I regard with extreme sadness.
Euthanasia is the ending of life by someone other than the person whose life is being ended, with or without their permission. This I do not support. I am handicapped following polio at age three. I walked on crutches for many years and have used a scooter for full time mobility for over ten years. What if (or when will) someone decide that there is no quality of life left for me? I value my life. I consider it to have a wonderful flavor and quality. But a sky diver or a snow skier might consider my life to be of a low quality.Yet wWho is able to decide for another what is quality? For an individual who chooses to end their own life, I feel that is their choice (though I personally hate suicide) For someone else to choose to end another's life, for me that is not OK. Smooches, Keri PS I don't believe in euthanasia for animals either. If there are lessons to be learned in a particular lifetime, then let me (and others, if they wish) learn ALL those lessons. Maybe the lesson I didn't learn last lifetime related to my death itself. |
