Euthanasia is the act of intentionally
causing the painless death of a sick
person.
Do you think it is right for a physician
to refuse to participate in active
euthanasia?

depends upon your deffination of "sick"
and also the extremeties of the sickness.
For me Euthenasia is only permissibale if
the person is being kept alive by machines
without hope of recovery. I also believe
it is a persons right to refuse drugs to
keep them alive.

I think it's fine, so long as the patient
is of sound mind when the decision is
made. I'd rather be euthanised before it
got to the being kept alive by machines
stage.
