Default re: Euthanasia Rampant in New Zealand, Doctors Admit Hastening Death
I have always been of the opinion that if someone makes an informed decision while they are of a mental state of mind, that if such and such a situation should occour that they wish to be put out of their misery, then that should be fine.

However having someone close to me that is currently in a position where they are terminally ill and going further downhill everytime I see her, I can't say I'd want that to hapen to her.

But maybe Its all just a little close to home at the moment to be objective about it. Becuase I wouldn't want her to live with all the pain all the time either. Its quite a catch 22 really.
