Euthanasia allows the terminally ill to die on their own terms with dignity.

No, I"m saying the reason being to make such an decision is based on the PAIN that they fill in both circumstances. In the person view the pain is intolerable and think nothing more of ending it. Even in if your bed ridden there is no plausible reason why they cannot be encouraged to live the rest of there lives out in a fruitful manner to them. I'll repeat; what is to say that a cure cannot be found, and by that they could be cured?
In what way does suicide equate dignity? I would have much more respect for someone who choose to live out there lives instead of choosing to opt out.
1 Corinthians 10: 31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
