I personally believe euthanize should be available to all . sick or not. Who is to say that we must live in this world if we chose not too? I personally have considered and tried suicide several times. If i could get a doctor to assist me to do it right I would do it now. I have nobody to turn to and I'm in a bad situation. I am disabled and have diabetes and breathing problems. I am living with people that I though cared about me but have found out different. I am pretty much confined to my room and am not to eat here or do laundry. I am called "asshole" among other names. Was flipped the bird and told "fuck you" just yesterday. I am losing weight and my diabetes is out of control. I'm not eating right nor am I taking meds due to not eating. My sugar is running 400 + due to eating junk. I need to find another place to live as they want me out of here . I can't afford to move as they get half my ss check for rent and the other half goes to car payment and insurance. I can let vehicle go or not make payment as I need it for doc appointments but rarely drive but have a co signer and cannot default on the loan. I am really depressed and getting worse by the day. I need help. I don't want to cause any trouble for these people, I just want out .. I'm in Oregon and its cold outside and I wouldn't survive on the streets. I afraid that's were I will be at the first of the month. I don't know what to do here.. any advice would be appreciated thanks

If I have a terminal disease that includes symptoms of extreme pain, and anesthesia is not working, I want the right and means to end my life.

I have read many arguments for and against the various levels of euthanasia.

There was a recent article about making it more easily accessible here [dailymail.co.uk].

I have wrote my story on topic I am not afraid to die...I have hiv 27yrs and in great health. My husband died 19 yrs ago with hiv. The torture he went through is unimaginable. When I am very sick and can't take care of myself that will be my time to die.NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. I have saved many pills over the years I just want to gently go to sleep forever.

We have no problem doing it for animals... yet we have problems when it comes to the suffering of our loved ones... go figure...

In my opinion - absolutely !

Just because we CAN extend life in an otherwise useless body, doesn't mean we SHOULD indefinitely .

Yes. 100%

Yes, ditto to @gearl.

Yes, it should be legal on all states. It’s our bodies, our choice. Period.

Yes

Absolutely it should. As you say, what gives the government the right to come between you, your choices and your medical professionals, no matter the circumstances.

Honestly, who are they to say that we aren't ready to die?
I believe human beings should reserve the ability to go to the doctor and be able to pass peacefully instead of constantly struggling each day.

Of course.

Definitely yes. Saw my father's mother kept alive in a vegetative state for 7 years following a stroke. Then my mom's mother who I was extremely close with lived to 109 in a rehab center-but the last 2 years of her life she did not want to be alive. She would cry out in the middle of the night and they would drug her and she had difficulty eating so they spoon fed her with baby food. I couldn't bear to see her that way and my cousins didn't understand why I wouldn't visit her those last 2 years. I have a medical proxy upon my health declaring that no feeding tube is to be authorized-I believe in a dignified death and euthanasia.

There need to be some obvious safeguards, but definitely yes.

There are 5 states in the U.S. that have a Death with Dignity program and a number of others are looking into this. However, the program is only available to those dying within 6 months.

One very important aspect of this program is the elimination of the word "suicide". Ones cause of death is listed as the illness that one is dying from.

I absolutely support a euthanasia program for others but it has to have certain parameters to make it palatable to lawmakers.

It's my life. Keeping people from this is nothing more than controlling others in the name of their religious beliefs. Pretty much the same as telling women what to do with their bodies.

Yes. Being alive should not be a prison sentence of suffering.

Absolutely. Everyone should have the right to control their destiny.

Yes. Civil, compassionate euthanasia should be an option.

Absolutely, yes. Why shouldn't we have the right to control our own lives, or deaths?

As a life-long dog owner I have faced the euthanasia of deeply loved ones many times. It is Necessary!
If I was a good daughter, I would have helped my Mom when she needed it. A Huge regret! If I had let a dog suffer like she suffered in her last days, I would rightly have been prosecuted.......

I am hoping we become more civalisesx and euthanasia is an option avaiable to be in my old age. Dignity is what I hope for.

I feel like we should be allowed to decide for ourselves. We should have our own freedom when
we are ready to die. You would need to make sure that you would be ready for sure.

Absolutely yes. This is a no-brainer, IMO.
