Euthanasia - are you for or against?

Actually, some religions and/or denominations will not let you resuscitate a person, on the belief that their spirit leaves the body at the moment of death.

we shouldn't allow a sick person to commit suicide. and we dont have the right to decide who gets to live and who gets to die.

Quoted for truth.

Basta alam ko turo samin sa religion class nung HS, ang pagtanggal sa life support hindi euthanasia. You are not obliged to go out of your way to allow someone to live, sabi. Naalala ko life support is "artificially keeping someone alive" and while encouraged, is NOT required.

this subject has religious and legal implications... it is a difficult subject to decide,...
personally, if i'm too sick to live, i'd rather die than suffer..... as for me it is the quality of life...

I would agree if the patient is on a life support system and is depending on it to live and through the withdrawal of the life support.

I wouldn't agree if he is not on a life support system and the means are lethal injection or drug overdose.
