I knew you'd have a problem with that.
You didn't respond to my question about where the line should be drawn. Is there a pain-o-meter reading that a doctor can make a judgement on to let a patient die? Should only people who are terminally ill and in pain be allowed to die? Do you kill kids in the same position or do you give them the best chance to live, despite the pain they might be feeling?
As much as I sympathise with people who are in pain and want it to end, it just doesn't set a good example and opens up an icky can of worms.
I think it would also lead to less medical discoveries in how to stop the pain and cure people, if suddenly Euthanasia became widespread and accepted by the world.
