I will always be very sorry that humans are left to suffer to the bitterest of ends with any terminal or irreversible illness which becomes unmanageable. At times they will even be resuscitated -even on numerous occasions, or kept alive on machines.
While dogs are given a peaceful and swift passing by lethal injection, when there is no longer any physical hope.
Why is that so? Maybe there will come a time when we will be able to choose euthanasia.
I cannot see the big issue in it. If a person of sound mind can undergo a psychological assessment first, which should be able to pinpoint any coercion by anyone else.....as well as a medical prognosis, why shouldn't they have the choice legally?
