Issues to Discuss discussion

Okay, I know all of these more serious topics can be hard for some people to talk about, so I'd appreciate your maturity on them! So, are you for or against euthanasia?

What does Euthanasia mean?

Assisted suicide.

Oh...
I think it's horrible, and even if someone wants to die, you should stop them, not help them.

yes. i agree with neesh

I know, it's as if your saying 'Hey you wanna die? No one wants you, I'll help'

So true.

I know!

What? That disgusting!

I don't understand why you would want to help somebody kill themselves. Like unless you hate the person...but even then you're still going to watch them die..like, that's just, no, just no.

I agree!

Although a human life is worth more than an animals, in my opinion. And even though we spend money on keeping those people alive, we still raise money for those people who have cancer and diseaes like it. It's not like we ignore them or anything.
Also, euthanasia is assisted suicide. Unless you kill yourself because you're sick, I don't think that it's technically suicide if we're keeping sick people alive.

And Neesh, do you agree with everyone? xD

Ok, well, that was just my opinion about the human/animal life thing. I don't think I can change your opinion on that.
And anti-cancer drugs are quite expensive. So even if the NHS could buy them, how many patients would be able to buy them? Because they're not going to be given away for free. It's also a fact that that many things in the world come down to money and how much businesses can afford. It's not like they don't want to buy the drugs.
Plus, like I said before, keeping sick people alive doesn't feel like a valid argument to me. Yes, I am arguing it, but because I want to back up my point on what I said before. Why it doesn't feel valid is because euthanasia is assisted suicide. Dying from a disease is different than willingly killing yourself. If you are sick and decide to kill yourself because of it, I don't think it would be right if a doctor or someone helped, because that is what would have to happen (I think) for it to be considered euthanasia.

I think it's mature of you that you guys can actually have a debate but not force your opinions on others. :)
