Since we have a thread about organ donoring and people are saying you should be able to determine what you want to do with your body, I want to ask how you all feel about euthanasia. Should it be allowed or not? Why?

I think it should be legal. People should be able to end their lives if they want to. People who are not terminally ill can do it by suicide, but the ones laying paralyzed in bed or suffering from a terminal cancer cannot commit suicide. I think it is only humane to end one's suffering if the person so wishes. There is nothing to be gained by keeping someone alive in great pains for a few days or months more if the person him/herself wants to die. We should not think about the relatives but the person suffering.
