Is it a crime for me to explain my view in more detail than a simple "I think Mercy kills are fine"? All I was doing, was laying down the limits for my view. Since, this is asking about my view, no? Whereas someone said that people should be able to take their own life if they want to, I'm saying that taking your own life if you're not plagued by slow and fatal illnesses, or if you're not able to live a proper life, is wrong and should not be legal. Also, I agree with MMM with the term "Mercy kill" Sounds like some sort of FPS term more than something that considers the end of someone life in reality. About religion, why would God want a being to suffer in pain, if he was going to die anyways? If I'm not mistaken, did he not end Jesus' life on the cross to save him from more suffering?

"When god says your ready to go then your ready to go". With the advances in technology we are living beyond the expectations of when humans are suppose to die. With this law we are dying before we are suppose to go or maybe even a little later than usual. Thats why it is ruled out here. solemnclockwork you seem like the only one not taking this seriously, we are not talking about old people but people in general. I only put no religious support because it causes people to spew from the mouth with rage with out thinking.

I think maybe it should be a last resort if there are no other medical treatments, I know when I was in the hospital and unable to move or even feed myself nor didI have any company to keep my mind well intact. I wanted to be put out of my misery but then new treatments were just being used and so I tried it and it worked. I'm walking around, have a job, going to school and if I had picked to be killed it would have been a waste. I'm not sure about the subject.

That's not true, we are starting to live out our lives to where we where meant to. In the past we couldn't because of disease, inability to acquire the right care, and vitamins. I will also talk from the Christian point of view (NOT to debate, but clarify) in the bible we where limited to 150 years, and also when you go, that's how long God decided you to live wither it be for whatever reason.(which means, you killed by someone, or die of old age that was God will, this is complicated, so just think of someone dies that was the extent of there life dictated by God). I don't get it, why do you think that people don't think highly of there own religion? I wouldn't hold the views I have today if it wasn't for my religion. Yes, my views where influenced by religion, but the point is that's MY views, and WHAT I feel, I don't get how you can say that people don't think highly of there religion (you probably going to have to clarify that first statement). ANY debate will challenge an established view held by both parties, if you get so offended because someone beliefs an certain way, you have an problem. Having an certain views is biased to the person who does not hold those views, thus why conflict exists in debates. You should seek to limit that conflict instead of denying ones right to voice there opinion on the subject. Like me who is mostly at odds with several forums members on views, I don't seek to deny those views, but to express why I don't see face to face on them. This comes down to the basic concept of religion in ones debate, don't challenge the religion, but why that person has that view. Ex. A.I don't believe in assisted suicide, because I find it in conflict of God's will. B. Ok, then why is it conflict with God's will, what about the persons will, do they have an choice when they might not believe the same way you do? A. (insert religious text why it is against God's will), being ones will does not make it right, I could think that I have the right to your wallet, does that make it right for me? Even if they don't believe that way, I find it ethically immoral for one to opt out of life because they cannot handle suffering, what if a few days later an cure was found? B. Response with an rebuttal.... See, most if not all debates will not revolve around religion, the only time it does is to establish why that person fells that way. At most the debate will extent form there. My point is, don't neglect an point of view in favor of being "politically correct", everyone can do with challenges against there views, it helps those developed thick skin. 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.

I say when one is in a healthy and clear state of mind and is not able to end they're own life they should be able to get the help or needs possible to do as they see fit.
When they are not I'm not sure.. How can one be sure when one is a clear state of mind. The doctors surely can't in my opinion.. ....[VampiSupporter].... x3 The Belgium Trio x3

Therefore, hypothetically and generally speaking, I support your right to fight to the last breath despite the inevitability of your fate. I would expect that you respect mine, or others right to end their life when they choose.
