Euthanasia Debate Question
Posted: 07-30-07 08:36am

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?

What is more humane?

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.
