Extending euthanasia to minors

False. Murder is the unlawful taking of a life, which is precisely what this issue is about. Should assisting someone in their death be lawful?

Can you prove suicide is bad, or is that just your opinion?

Better for who? The person suffering?

So, someone should have to suffer through unimaginable pain so we can experiment on them, and that person should be obligated to partake?

Regardless of the fact that pain medication can be wholly inadequate to deal with human suffering, only the person living that life can determine whether their life is valuable enough to continue.

You are simply using emotion in an attempt to bolster your argument here. We are not "destroying" them. We are helping them facilitate their own death.
