No Not I, surelyI assumed WB was being W.
Aaaargh! Dammit! That means you can put me down any time..... I can’t vote in this country, and I hardly make enough money to pay taxes.........
And now you’re having a go at monkeys, too! Waaaah!I have every sympathy for the husband who, at his elderly wife's request, helps to ease her suffering by smothering her. It must be a terrible situation to be in, and I hope to God I'm never put in that position. But if I were, I'd do what I thought was right, I wouldn't give a monkey's what the law said, it would be no comfort to me if what I did was state-sanctioned or not. Ultimately, whatever I do is my own responsibility.
No, seriously.... Personally I hope someone would have the guts to help me if I was terminally ill, in a lot of pain, and with no hope of a cure. I wouldn’t want to live for another few days/ weeks/ months in agony, and slowly and painfully waste away until I was a vegetable on life support machines........ I’d rather have the choice to die peacefully and with a clear mind, saying my farewells and then passing away with at least a scrap of dignity left...... But of course, this is just my personal opinion and preference, other people are entitled to their own views and feelings.... And I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to change the laws....... But that’s not what we’re discussing here anyway.....
I know someone who was helped to die. She was being eaten up by cancer, was in extreme pain, and knew she would only live for a maximum of a couple of months. She could no longer walk, but her mind was still completely clear, and she pleaded to be allowed to die with dignity. Her wish was granted.

I still see big difference between switching of a life support machine (no problem) against giving someone a drug to kill them but im in the minority
Ah. So, once you've switched off the machine, and they're going to die, you'd be happy for them say to writhe there, in pointless agony for their last few hours, rather than give them a drug, which will end it quickly, and without pain....
How cruel is that!!
Thats a tough one
You could switch the machine on and off a lot ?? If they started to suffer turn it on then off etc ??
Leave the room and glance in every 3 hours , turn the radio up loud ??
Thats got me thinking.
what if you killed them and its a mistake ? people do survive machines being switched off.
I see your point ,it is difficult
You know, you can just tell when a someone with legal training 's in the room, it's the whiff of leading questions or something that gives it away...
There's clearly a difference between non-intervention and intervention, and Stewart38 (and I) are clearly in the "intervention is bad" camp.
That doesn't necessarily make us evil beyond salvation. Well, not in my case at least.
Dunno, but it's not quite as bad to my mind as ending a question with two exclamation marks.
"How cruel is that" can also be a statement. Doesn't have to be a question, and the use of exclamation marks rather emphasises this point, don't you think. Although, I do worry sometimes about my repeated punctuation. And apologise sincerely!!
As it would in Norway, too. But it still happens, and is highly illegal. Still stick to my opinion on the subject, though. And I'm still happy the person I mentioned was granted her wish, despite it being illegal.Euthanasia would require a change in the law in the UK

And yes, there's a huge difference in switching off a life support machine and giving someone drugs to kill them. I hope someone would help me get those drugs, though, if I was ever in the situation described earlier.
