"Man I could talk all day about euthanasia." Seriously, yes, if I was in pain I'd tell my fam to pull the plug on me. I don't if I could physically do it to someone, but if that was their wishes I suppose I'd want them to be fulfilled.

If someone wants to die - then they should have that right. As long as they're over 18 and consent, go for it. [as for those under 18, idk.. i guess thats a parent and child decision idfc]

I think it is cruel when someone has no chance of living and the doctors have stopped trying but they have to suffer in pain and be miserable until everything shuts down. My grandfather spent the last days of his life in horrible pain and no one could do anything for him . They said that increasing his pain meds could cause respiratory problems. To me that would have been an easier death. If I know for 100% I am going in a few days or hours I would like the choice to go peacefully.

Sometimes I feel like I helped him go. The hospice doc gave me orders to give morphine as often as I felt he needed it the last night. At that point it was all I could do. He couldn't breathe. Couldn't swallow. It was the the worst 24 hours of my life.

But it's not my job to control what other people want to do with their lives. After watching "Right to Die?" I definitely have a more compassionate view regarding euthanasia. The guy in the documentary was suffering from motor neuron disease, where his mind was perfectly fine but his body was degenerating to the point that he could no longer walk, talk, swallow, or even breathe on his own. It's not fair to force someone to live like that.

I just don't think the role of a physician should ever be to kill someone.
