And who are we to judge anothers state of mind or say they can or cannot end their life? Who says what is and what is not sane? You cannot judge if one is competent to act, whatever the case maybe.. Its their life and they can do as they please with it.. Abortion is another issue and story when it comes to ending life and I am for it in certain circumstances, but euthanasia is a personal thing.. I 'personally' do not agree with euthanasia.. I believe that nature should take its course and NO-ONE should interfere with it, whether it be genetic engineering or euthanasia.
The life cycle is part of nature and if God (i am not religious, just making a point) or nature had intended you to be in pain or suffer then you should fight it or take whatever means, but ending your life because of nature's cycle is cowardly etc... Nature works in mysterious ways.. What I want most people out there to do is to stop being pushy, Oprah watching dicks! and mind their own business.. worry bout their own sad, pathetic lives instead of butting into others.. ones life is theirs and they may do as they wish with it.. you cant say what they can and cannot do so shove off.. your opinions are one thing, but denying people to do as they wish with themselves i violation democracy and a person's freedom..
Flame me if you must.. but do me a favour and stick your noses up your own asses and not into other people's affairs.
