I think if a person decides that life is not as it should be, or once was then it should be down to the person in alot of cases it has been discussed within the family when they are of sound mind to the point where this kind of decission cannot be made lightly and with alot of thought, surly if the person can make the decission for themselves as an adult then who is anyone to stand in their way?
At the end of the day whos life is it ours no theirs.
For the people who are not of sound mind and body then it should be the decission of the loved ones at the end of the day it will be a great loss to them and again not a decission that would be taken lightly if you see someone in pain you feel the pain and instinct is to ease that pain if your child falls you automatically do what you can to ease them, well the same goes if you know someone in pain and you know it is long suffering and the only way to ease that pain is to let them go if they are going to go anyway then that is what should be right surely. If you prolong life by artificial aid when the outcome would still be the same then that should be wrong because then you are only doing it to hold off your pain not theirs.

Maybe none of this makes sence but i know what im trying to say.
