If you had a very close friend of family member dying in pain, and they asked you to help them die peacfully, what would you do?

We spoke about this in R.E today and ot sorta made me think.

I know they would be in pain and until I was in that situation myself I probably wouldn't be able to say but I've gone for no simply because I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

I done this last year in R.E. Euthanasia I think &_&.. but, I hope I never have to come to the situation. If they had no chance of recovering, then I might.. but if they had even the slightest chance of a recovery, then no.
Oh, yeah I sorta forgot to mention. They were dying, and in alot of pain, with no hope of recovery.

Because, she wants her friend to kill her.

But he won't, so she tries to bite her tongue, because she's paralysed and can't move anything, so..

I agree with Mark. Euthanasia is a much debated topic but if they were in that much pain that they asked to die then I couldn't let them suffer.

I wouldn't let someone i loved that much suffer. So yes.

I think Euthanasia should be made illegal, aslong as you don't actually kill them using weapons suchas knifes (some do, which is pathetic) but the use of drugs, I think is OK.
Aslong as the person takes it themselve, I don't think they should be force fed it.

It's a very tricky issue, since it is classed as murder in all..

Correction - I think it should be made Legal.

Otherwise what I just said makes no sense.. :rolleyes:

Oh smiddy. You fool. I think it should be legal but I don't think I personally could still do it.

Yes I would if I was asked.

If they don't want to carry on and they're not going to survive, and going to die a long painful death, then why not?

I'd do it, I mean yeah it'd be hard if it's a loved one, but it'd be harder to see them suffer.

i luv rosie

13-09-2006, 01:32 AM

I wouldn't.
I'd go to prison for a long time.

not that i don't care about the other person, its just I'd rather live my life to the fullest without prison.

Taking their life away would take half of mine.

I wouldn't have the heart to do so. If they're really suffering bad, then I'd get someone else to do it. I could never kill someone I loved.

Same i agree tho there is a chance you will go to prison if u did but lets hope none of us get into this problem

I don't think i could do it, if i was really close to this person, then i couldn't bring myself to do it, i can't even kill a bug, let alone a member of my family.

If i knew, they were dying & suffering in so much pain, i don't think i could even bring myself to see them also, because it would be bad enough knowing & seeing them would make it worse.

But, i guess i would feel guilty for not doing anything also, because i could of helped them get out of all the suffering & misery they were in, but instead, i didn't & i let them suffer.

I don't know, it's a hard question.
