Roller all logical consious discussion when done maturely by those who are capable, ideally leads back to the same thing over and over again. Truth. |

Ok well basically I've been getting a little tired of the debate on the existence of a higher being or evolution etc... I mean don't get me wrong, it's always good to have a heated argument... but it's kid of going overboard. So here's a different debate that hopefully we can get some mileage out of. Yeah, maybe it's an old debate but it's tried and true and it's always good to have a good old discussion. |

The right to die is a civil one that should be included with all of the others, no matter what. |

Well Nirvana I've talked to you in chat many times and I like talking to you, but if you don't want to discuss this thread then I'm sure you have better things to do than to post in it. |

Roller, when you say voluntary euthanasia where one has requested to be killed, then what means of death are you also speaking of? Euthanasia by action, where death is caused by performing an action, such as giving a lethal injection? Euthanasia by omission, where death is caused by not providing necessary care and/or denying food and water? Euthanasia by assisted suicide, physician assisted or otherwise? Or something else? |

Insanity is the new avant-garde.
I'm not sure what to say, but there is such a stigma about death that makes people really aversive to it. (like our president) |

naturals are what we call people who did all the right things accidentally
I think Euthanasia should be allowed but only under certain circumstances such as with degenerative diseases that are terminal and painful. But for a person to just not be happy with their life and decide that they want to die, no I don't think it should be allowed. If someone isn't happy with life or they think it is too hard for them or whatever, then they should go ahead and perpetrate the act themselves and not with the help of somone else. |

Yeah you're right there Dreamscape, there are a lot of different versions of euthanasia... I guess the poll question is referring to any action taken to assist the death of a person in order to end suffering. |
|
People should have control of their own lives, including the ability to end it when they choose to, or to pay someone to when they are unable themselves. |

'all of the moments that already passed/
try to go back and make them last.'
I think personally that it would be acceptable if only under certain circumstances. For example, someone suffering exceptionally bad symptons of Huntington's or a terminally fatal disease should have the right to choose whether they wish to prolong their suffering? |

I was going to start a thread about euthanasia but I found an old existing one. |

I'm completely the opposite, Burns. I'd choose a slow, painful death over euthenasia any day. I'm an atheist, and believe that there is no afrerlife or reincarnation (in the strict sense, at least). Death is the end... so, I'd hang on to every last motherf^&cking thread of life I have, even if it is painful. Every second counts. |

Have you ever had the flu so bad that you'd rather be dead than as sick/in pain as you currently are? I've had that feeling before (though I haven't been sick in about 7 years, knock on wood), so even if there is no afterlife, sometimes not existing is better than experiencing excruitating and unrelenting pain. |
|
there should be a legal document signed ahead of time preferably, stating that one wishes to have the option under certain circumstances. |

I've had plenty of pain in my life... I had chronic appendicitis, an allergic reaction that caused me to basically stop breathing (that didn't hurt per se, but I deffinitely suffered), a massive case of chickenpox that basically put me in a condition of chronic headaches, nausea, and caused me some bad-ass hallucinations... |

If you do not let people end their lives if they want to, you are taking away their right of choice, their right of freedom. |
