A person If a person is in pain, and they have gone through all of the options and they have a terminal illness and they dont lave that long to live I think that it is there right as a person to decide for himself or herself how they want to die. 12/8/2009

Jasmine this helped a lot! i need to do a 5 paragraph essay on whether or not euthanasia should be illegal. now i have lots of ideas and can see both sides of the argument clearly. Thanx! 12/6/2009
Jasmine I think that euthanasia should be legally, purely for those people who want it. Your life and what you want to do with it is personal. The government should not have the right to decide what you can do with your life. I personally am against it, but I dont think that the government should be able to decide what you can and cant do with your life. 12/6/2009
dylan watters i think people should die if they choose to. 12/1/2009

Megan I am 13 years old and i am doing a two sided argument on Euthanasia i felt that this gave me tons of information thank you. 11/16/2009
mark forth uethanasi is a topic u really have to look at both ways, but i think there are more cons to it ,it does degrates the value life and i beleive that no one has the right to take life only who has the power to give life,and you can also look at uethanasia base on your religiion if your religiuos beleif does not practice medical treatments then this would be your problem... 11/12/2009
Robert I love Buzzle and I would like to add, that it is our right to live and if need be to die. It is an expression of our innate freedom whether we agree with it or not. I like Jade Smith's comment. R U the Jade Smith who is going to be a Psychiatrist? 11/10/2009
Jesse Atwell if someone is a half vegetable that isnt much of a life, if it is a man made product keeping them alive then isnt thet playing god because it is not our say who lives or dies if it is thier time then so be it. and for those who have trivial comments get a life serousily lame! 11/9/2009
bella i think that euthansia is okay because the person might be suffering but it should not be used for teenager or healthy people who just want to commit suicide. x 11/6/2009
Megan i dont understand why people get in an uproar from euthanasia, if someone is dying and they know they are slowly fading away, why not let them go? love them enough to let them go. 11/4/2009
God It ok my hatchlings 10/26/2009
Lena Euthanasia is taking away the value of a human life. Lives aren't ours to take away, whether its our own life or someone else's life. By taking away a life, you are deciding who lives and who dies. That's playing God and that is very wrong. 10/24/2009
jack euthanasia should be legal; it ends with the suffering and pain of those terminally ill. 10/15/2009
hitler stalin why are you talking about god has a plan for you every thing you do is already in gods plan if you decide to "pull the plug" God has already known that you where so therefor you are not interfearing with gods plan he knew before you did you would pull or not pull the plug. 10/6/2009
john thats ok 9/30/2009
sierra i think its not fail to take someone life that should just give them medicine 9/30/2009
jesus cool :) 9/16/2009
maggy wow this is a great artical it really shows both sides of the argument very helpful 9/14/2009
rhythm Euthanasia is not assisted suicide. YOU run your life not anyone else.you have the right to decide to live or die. if you are in a vegitated state you arent even really there as a person, its just your body on earth and nobody should play God. Causing your loved ones to suffer is worse than letting them pass to a better place and be better. 9/11/2009

stephanie R. I think that Euthinasia should be allowed to be placed in the will of a terminally ill patient. Clauses such as; if said person should fall into a vegitative state, assisted death should be provided. Make it a personal choice and not one of the family, or spouse. Machines tell doctors many things but they can't tell you how a patient is feeling. Doctors can't save every patient, they shouldn't be looked upon as superheros that can heal anyone. It is not fare for Doctors to carry such a burden. 8/13/2009
Jade Smith Every person is entitled to do with their life what they want, we have been told since we were old enough to talk that we could do anything we wanted to do with our lives. If a person is suffering and requests euthanasia as an option they are entitled to that right. 7/28/2009
Pooja Very informative and useful article. 7/15/2009
RE:anonymous Coz HE has guts and SHE is patient.. 6/19/2009
Anonymous I liked article, and it quite well written, but why is the patient always referred to as a he? 6/18/2009

WHATLEY ITS BAD 5/13/2009
matt b euthanasia isnt right 5/13/2009
Bruce Euthanasia is not right by any means. No matter how much someone is suffering, the Lord still has a plan for your life, and someone could change your life during that time, helping you to trust Jesus Christ as your lord and Savior. 5/13/2009
Kyra Euthanasia is a bad way to die. Somepeople are in comas when they are euthanised, they can 't tell them NO. Somepeople don't want to die because they want to life their life fully. But some people don't have a choice. They sould never ever euthanize someone without permision otherwise it would be murder. It's a good thing that they can euthanize people because it is illegal. 5/11/2009
SH This is the exact information that I was looking for! Thank you. 5/11/2009
North Central im doing a debate on Euthanasia, in my opinion it shoudl be legal but kept on a strict schedule, thanks for the info 4/15/2009
Melissa Euthanasia or Physicians Assisted Suicide should never be legalized because people make rash decisions when they are in pain, the legalization will inevitably cause a slippery slope effect, and it is God's responsibilty to take a human's life. 4/6/2009
Sally Lawrence I think that it is not only the pain that should be the reason for allowing me and others to choose to die, what about when, as in my case, MS has gradually taken away the reasonable use of my body and now I am stuck in a chair all day needing help with all aspects of my life. I don't have a life just an existance. 4/4/2009

Kathy Except for Erin and Barbie, you all need to find out what euthanasia is. It's not just letting the sick die, but assisting those who are suffering and want to end their lives. The question is whether or not they are of sound mind and know what they're asking of you. 3/28/2009
Kathy You can only voice an opinion if you've been down that road. If you know someone who wants to end their life due to severe pain or if you yourself would sacrafice your life to relive your pain. 3/28/2009
Erin Why would someone want to stay "alive" when he or she has no form of life in this world whatsoever, only their physical self. They can't function on their own, always needing a machine to constantly take care of them. It's expensive, pointless, and painful for both the patient and the family of the patient. I do not believe in murder, nor will i ever. This, however, is not murder. It's putting someone out of their coma or vegatated state. There is much more in life after death then what they are experiencing here on earth. 2/26/2009
lsw if a husband has to chose between his wife (who is in coma and may probably never wake up) and his 3 children (which he has to take care of) and is in a financially difficult state (the money for the wife's life support could be used to feed his children), should he or should he not pull the plug? 2/5/2009
brittany w jessica needs to go to jail becase she like to kill people. 1/9/2009
brittany w mercy killing is wrong and dumb. why take a person life. that is killing for no reason. 1/9/2009
Jessica I love euthanasia. 1/6/2009
shuga miga i think euthanasia should not be made legal. its a way for people to just get into trouble and thats no more of what we need. 12/12/2008
Z Hi this a good atricle 12/7/2008
Louise I think people should be able to choose what they want, i mean if they are in pain why prolong their suffering? That is just torturing them. 12/5/2008
barby As a person whos mother was on life support, and then had to be taken off it.. i think that assisted suicide is ok in one sense and not ok in another 11/21/2008
Stacy I don't know if I'm for it or against it. It's not right to keep someone alive if they can't physically live on there own. I think the machine is playing God and it isn't fare to keep someone alive who is in pain or who doesn't know what's going on. So I'm for it. 10/25/2008
olingo harris i dont think it should be legalized 10/15/2008
Eloise this is great stuff just what i was looking for to do my debate research 9/14/2008
