So what if they are scared? Who are you to judge? You are not in the position of a person who is terminally ill or someone who has severe mental illness to the point that they do not recognise their own children.
People who ask for help to die don't do it because they are expecting the person to help them go down for murder are they?
I'm curious then, are you saying people should not have the right to die, that they are cowards?
Quote:The euthanasia of a person who is in just for breathing apparatus, comatose, or terminally ill and is unable to end his suffering I am completely for, but if the reason the thread starter I am against, a person who has Alzheimer's has no physical pain and if she wants she can stop it.
The point I was trying to make with the original post is that the person I was describing is not the same person as existed a few years ago. Her mind is completely destroyed. What is the mind without memory? She wakes up every morning wondering where the fuck she is. Tell me what kind of life that is? To be in a constant state of confusion?
Why is damage to the mind taken differently to the body?
Quote:The real desire is to end the suffering of sick or end up with the embarrassment of relatives?
Quite an insulting question. I'm not even going to dignify it with a response, the answer should be pretty obvious.
Quote:The function of the state is to guarantee the life, he can not and should become the executioner of patients just by being outside of our reality, no longer do this and euthanasia becomes the death penalty.
Okay, don't quite understand this. No one is asking for the state to actively aid in helping people who want to die, die. Just that if people do want to go for genuine reasons that their relatives should be able to help them fulfil their dying wish without fear of imprisonment.
If I've misinterpreted anything you said, feel free to rephrase or explain.
