Title: Physician-assisted Suicide And Euthanasia
Post by: O.T.13. on April 24, 2010, 06:01:13 pm

What are your views?
Support them or against them?
Should they be legalized or not?

I am not clear about the title, but I'm assuming its doctors helping patients to commit suicide.

This is clearly insane for obvious reasons.

Both are mainly for terminally ill patients
Physician-assisted suicide is when a doctor provides means of suicide for the patient, and gives him clear direction on how to commit suicide but doesnt perform the actual act
euthanasia is when the doctor does the act, supposedly upon the request of the patient

Even though it may seem sensible sometimes, I'm strongly against legalising it.

I see no reason why they should be supported...
