People are strange animals.

Agree 100% (or maybe 99.9%) ... esp. on the last comment. I love my animals; they are my friends and companions. And I go to any reasonable lengths to keep them alive and well. But there does come a time .....
If we treated our human relatives with the same love and compassion, it would lessen the fear of that terminal time we all have to face eventually. I have made a "living will"; and I have chosen my closest friend to be the one who will, if I am unable, give the instruction to pull the plug. I am a strong supporter of human euthanasia ... allowing, of course, that legal and ethical safeguards are put in place.
