What if a critical injured patient doesn't want to live anymore?

[Danielle93]

Lets say a patient survived a horrible accident that either caused them to become paralyzed, become terribly disfigured or lose a limb or more.

The patient really doesn't want to live with that quality of life. They are literally begging the doctors to please euthanize him/her, to please let them die. What happens in those cases?

Well then that really sucks for the patient. Depending on where they live, euthanasia may or may not be legal, aswell as dependent on the conditions required to be eligible for it in that area. In most cases it’s not legal though, and those people often end up taking their own life if they’re that determined on not living anymore.

Euthanasia is a sin.

But what if the patient hates living in that state and really wants to die? It's it bad forcing someone to live a poor quality of life they don't want to?
