I suppose these same people that are against this would also let a dog with cancer or been hit by a car lay there to rely on it's own resources. If you are willing to mask the pain the person or animal is in with medicine, without any hope of recovery, why not let them out of their pain totally? I feel it is totally barbaric to make someone suffer for months or years waiting for the outcome that they know is waiting for them any way. Those of you that don't agree with euthanasia, apparently you have never had a loved one suffer for months trying to get thru to the end, death. Where is your compassion for our fellow human beings?
