Looks like it means someone else making a choice on whether or not a person lives or dies. What if someone just felt the bill would be too much...

Even if the person didn't want to have the plug pulled, or killed due to requiring too many drugs?
ETA: I meant euthanized, even though they can't have a say in it from too many drugs causing them to be knocked out or in a vegetative state. I'm sorry, the first sentence didn't make any sense.Last edited by Christy; 02-13-2014, 01:51 AM.

"You folks?" You don't know anything about what I believe regarding this matter. This is a tough subject. Why did you evade the question?
I do have a problem with people putting somebody down for being a burden. So there's that.

No, if it was proven that somebody had said that they didn't want to live in a situation where there was no other alternative but living in excruciating pain, then it is their choice not to.
However, if somebody has wished to not be put down before getting that way, it is wrong for somebody else to come in and decide that they should die.Last edited by Christy; 02-13-2014, 01:42 AM.

What do you, ANY of you, know about another person's pain?
So by providing pain reducing drugs (like morphine) (or maybe coma induing drugs) there is no need to "euthanise".

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

slippery... meet slope.
Whenever someone objects to reasons against something as a "typical slippery slope argument" (as if that automatically means it somehow proves it wrong) all you gots to do is point at the Netherlands or Belgium.
Just tweak the law a bit here and there and pretty soon parents can "abort" their children as long as they are their legal guardians. After all, someone in so much suffering is probably not in a rational state of mind to make decisions about their own life, so it should be left up to the parents alone, eh?
