There would never be a time i would want to be on the decision making end. It would have to have been previously discussed, agreed upon and in writing, it wouldnt make it any easier but out of respect i would honor the request. As far as myself, there are circumstances i would definitely want to be let go, assisted or otherwise.. Quality of life (mine) wins out over any religious concerns here. The government has enough on their plate...

Posted: Aug 3, 08 8:33amPosted: Aug 3, 08 8:34am Under what conditions might you consider end of life euthanasia?  Check back with me when I reach the intolerable suffering stage !! Posted: Aug 3, 08 8:40amIt would have to be planned ahead of time, too. By the time I was ready to check out, I imagine substantial infirmity. I do have KCN, but CO or diethyl ether? might be the way to go. I dont forsee anything soon, and frankly, I dont know if I would want to do it or not. Kind of like you gotta be there...? If someone asked for my help, that'd be a tough one. JackieRodzinski TheInquiringEye

Posted: Aug 3, 08 8:40amThats a tough one. I'm not sure how I really think about this issue. Before technology it was just God's business really but beings man is now all involved in it like everything else, we are now faced with these types of issues. One thing I do know is that one family member should not have the say, whether that be the spouse or children. It should take a committee of people to help make a decision. Its usually a mess no matter how its done though. Posted: Aug 3, 08 8:46amWow ..great topic ! I am an advocate for "Death with Dignity".! Or as commonly referred to Physician Asissted Suicide. - Terminally ill people or conditions wherein the quality of life to a person is beyond reasonable coping, should be a choice NOT considered illegal (against the law). - Religion has absolutely nothing to do with the issue, unless the individual chooses it to be ..in other words..keep ones own religion to thier self and don't force it upon other people ! - For government ..STOP trying to control my life. Do not create barriers to my own personal choice ! IMHO - the only ethical argument "againt" Death with Dignity". is to employ it without medically established standards.
