Yep, this is the old debate about Dr. Kevorkian. I hear he just recently got out of jail, or will soon. Not sure...
ANYWHO, Kevorkian was a famous doctor that was a firm believer in euthanasia, that is assisted suicide. Many people thought this was wrong, and many people thought it was right.
He did VERY thorough research on each patient he considered, looking through old medical files, searching for mental illnesses, and interviewing family members. After this research, he would make his decision. He also did not hurt any patient in the process. He even went so far as to invent his "death machine" that would kill the patient without pain. And he only killed people to stop pain, might it be from cancer or other things.
How do you feel about these things?
-Kevorkian.
-Euthanasia.
-Doctors and Euthanasia.

I have nothing against what Kevorkian did, or anyone who might follow in his footsteps. If someone chooses a peaceful death over a painful life, that's their business, and no one should be able to say anything to the contrary. Kevorkian merely provided the means to accomplish what they sought.

You and I must fight for our rights. I don't see anything wrong with Euthanasia/assisted suicide. I don't think I would want to live in pain. I would rather go peacefully, and Kevorkian provided help. If someone wants to die because they are dying and in pain, why would you want to stop them?
And it seems like Kevorkian did his research. I don't know much about him, but from little blurbs, it seems like he was fairly responsible. You and I must fight to survive.

 Hmmm...I think I would only be in favor of that if the patient was terminal. >.<; Even though I'm not really comfortable with it at all.
If it's just a pain issue, there's all kinds of new medicines being discovered everyday, they could find a cure. I know what's it's like to be in constant pain. I've had the same headache for years now. It never goes away, just hurts worse sometimes and becomes a migraine that are sometimes almost unbearable and I have to take a pill that knocks me out and I sleep it off. But I don't want to die just because of the pain. They don't even know what's wrong with me yet. Who knows? Maybe it could be cured by regular helpings of peppermint ice cream. xD

I don't really like the idea of euthanasia on humans, but I don't think it's wrong if they were in very great pain as long as he did it with the patient's consent, or, if the patient was in a coma etc., the family's consent.

I belive that it is the paitients choice. I am not entirley happy that there is assisted suicide, but like I said, if they want it, it's their choice. I'm glad he does it painlessly, and that he researched.

I'm not condemning or glorifing Kevorkian's methods because I myself am slightly torn on the issue. In general I believe, as most of you seem to also, that ultimately it is the patient's decision - Kevorkian just helped. It makes sense that someone with a out-of-control life or someone with a terminal illness may look toward euthanasia. It's sad to me that someone's life would be so bad that they would want to end it, but I understand it.

Kevorkian just wanted to help people. He did nothing wrong.
I don't disagree with euthanasia. Most people oppose it on a religious basis, and as with everything else religion related, I think that should be a PERSONAL choice.
