I'm pro euthanasia. With strict guidelines and done responsibly for the benefit of the patient.
I've always hated the argument that euthanasia is wrong because that's taking life and death into our own hands, all that stuff. What about all the wars where soldiers shoot other soldiers dead with impunity? Society thinks that's fine because its for a "moral" cause, and yet something like that is far more immoral than choosing to let someone you love die peacefully rather than let them suffer horribly. The former is okay and the latter isn't. How sick is that?

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
