Re: Should "euthanasia" be legalized?
Interested in the difference between your response and asher's...given I believe you both work in healthcare? Is the pain relief good enough these days or is that just a best case thing which often isn't possible/done?

I think it is criminal that it isn't legal!
The government is actually torturing these people - forcing them to live their life in shocking agony, not being able to eat or go to the toilet and the worst forcing them to die without their dignity.

Re: Should "euthanasia" be legalized?
Euthanasia is already legal.... for dogs and cats, so that they do not suffer.
Why not for us ?
There must of course be restrictions, and I think every case must be ticked off by a judge or similar, to try to ensure no one is using it for inheritance purposes.
Also people should have to have this in a written living will, well before hand.
It isn't something that should be considered lightly.
But when my life becomes no longer of use, and only pain and suffering is foreseeable, then I would like the option, as is available in some other countries: Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and various parts of the USA for example.
