Do you agree that someone who’s healthy but has mental health problems could have euthanasia?

[AviatorTom]

We euthanize animals, but euthanasia is illegal in most US states, though some do allow it in very specific situations.

Personally, I think there are instances where euthanasia makes sense, but it would need to be carefully managed... It's not suicide.

My elderly mother was in the hospital, stuck in ICU, in constant pain from a botched procedure. The hospital staff just kept pumping her full of pain medicine, they refused to let her die, it would mess up their statistics. One of the saddest moments in my life was when my mother asked me to let her die. I fought the hospital, nearly punched her doctor, to release her to hospice, where she died, peacefully in her sleep, two days later.

I support it being an option for terminally ill patients, but not what Canada does where they kill young healthy people who have seasonal depression.

[FreyaRed]

I think it should be allowed. People with terminal illnesses which will cause lot pain in end phase of their illness should have this option.
On the other hand there are modern opioids which can mend pain very effectively. My mother didn't feel much pain since she took opioids 30 times stronger than morphine but she didn't get much what happens around her either.

should be allowed and it's not. heavily regulated.

it does not make sense to force someone to die slowly

The youth in Europe are OK

The youth in the Americas are OK

The youth in Africa are OK

The youth in Australasia are OK

But I've not heard about the youth in Asia

Simples...

I believe people should have a right to euthanasia if they freely choose it.

[exitseven]

There are a lot of people that should be euthanized.

[Mike_Hum]

There are times where it makes sense. However, what Canada is doing is demonic.

[msc545]

I am very uncomfortable with the whole thing.

[Kingofkings1992]

In some states, it's legal. I'm okay with it. I would never object to there being any less people

[CubaPirate]

I approve under certian circumstances. And its not legal in the UK

[NathanDavis]

I don't think it's legal here

[abc3643]

That's in western Asia right?
