Everyone has a right to life. We should be allowed to chose our time to die. I must admit I am a great believer in euthenasia when some one is terminally ill &/or suffering in agony and wants to die they should be allowed to without being made to feel like a criminal. I would hate it if my kids had to watch me die slowly just because some do-gooder says it's wrong for me to be put to sleep with my dignity in tact. I can't remember the number of times I have heard the term "you wouldn't let an animal suffer like that" when relating to someone who is dying.

But where a person who is sick wants to live they should be able to do so without being made to feel they are a drain on society. I'm sure if people were given the right to choose there would be enough in the kitty for all.
