Right to die
Do you think voluntary euthanasia should be legal all in democratic countries?

Discuss.

Yes, though it needs regulation.

Yes.

Because.

RE: Right to die
Yes.

( Why is "Yes" too short an answer for a "yes or no" question?

This should now be long enough to satisfy the software.)

RE: Right to die
Yes. While I would strongly advise against it in many situations, people do have the right to take their own life if they desire (except maybe in the situation where they are deemed incompetent to make that decision)

We all have it but there are some I wish would exercise it more than they do.

RE: Right to die
Well, as Whateverist said, we already have this right (whether or not it is officially recognized). I can't see it ever being practical in our overly litigious culture though. Imagine how hefty the waivers, affidavits, and notarized documents would have to be if a disagreement arose between a provider and a client's survivors? Even if all of this were handled, there would still be run of the mill impropriety on top. As a right it seems like a no brainer, as a service (which is all we'd actually be talking about in the end) it would stretch our system of law. It's probably doable, but I don't know that we'd actually stick with it long enough to iron it out.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't think a person has a right to kill themselves without justification, much like, a person can't kill another person without justification.

I don't have the right to force another person to smoke, therefore I dont have the right to smoke?

What she said.


I think people with debilitating illnesses should be allowed, but those with mental conditions that are treatable, no. But i'm no doctor.
