1. Do you believe in the practice of euthanasia? Why or why not?

Yes, I think we should if possible have a choice in how we die. In the sense if I have an incurable disease than it should be my choice when and how I go.

2. If you had a painful life-threatening disease, would you wish to die naturally or die by means of euthanasia?

See above

3. If a loved one, or close friend had a painful life threatening disease, would you want them to die naturally or by means of euthanasia?

My grandmother had cancer and was dying, in the end she was just given morphine for the pain but no medication. I totally agreed.

4. Do you think euthanasia should become legalized? Why or why not?

It is legal here. I think leagalising it puts more restrictions on it and there are tougher guidelines to follow. There have to be 3 seperate doctors' findings whether or not the request is justified. It isn't something that isn't just carried out because someone lost the will to live.

5. Euthanasia is legal when it pertains to animals. Would you allow your pet to die by euthanasia? If so, is it the same as a person dieing from euthanasia? Why?

If I can end his suffering by performing euthanasia than yes, it will always remain a tough decision but I would. It is the same with humans. Like the saying goes: They shoot horses don't they?

Hope this helps.. any questions, you know where to find me!
