The Ethics of Euthanasia

[Black Orchid]

This is a slippery slope and some countries are taking it too far. Non terminal kids 12+ with the consent of parents and those who suffer from depression, autism and intellectual disabilities.

That's a few steps too far for me.

Will we go for the carousel ride?

I agree Black Orchid. It's becoming an insane over-achieve.

Logan's Run sums it up alright.

Depending on the kind of day, flair I'm having with my RA and if systemic cortisone injections gets it under control determines my opinion on euthanasia.

I'm having a reasonably good week, so I'm inclined not to even want to think about this topic, however there's been times, particularly when it's bad, wherby I can't see myself wanting to be alive and im of no use to anybody when much older that I have pondered it.

Ultimately as a Christian, I think it's not our decision to make, but I would be lying if I hadn't pondered it during some of my worst flairs.

I think in cases of terminal or chronic illness whereby medical treatment isn't able to provide enough relief , then this is between the patient and God, and others should probably not cast judgement here.
