So I was wondering, do you guys agree with euthanasia?

After rereading the novel The Giver, I think that euthanasia is good in one essence, but yet wrong in another. If you
 
I've read the novel and its was quite amazing to say the least. I would recomened it to anybody looking for a good new novle to read.
 
I keep saying "Youth in Asia" in my head when I read the word euthanasia.

For me, it depends on what the person about to die would think of it.
 
I haven't read the book in quite some time, so I guess I'll have to make a generalization.

I suppose it's okay if someone is asked and agrees to euthanasia, but forcing it upon someone isn't. :\

Love the sig. : )
 
In all honesty, its hard to find a point on one side that can't be countered by another point on the other.

My personal opinion; however, is close to yours in that it is okay in some cases. The real problem, though, is finding where to draw the line between what is "okay" and "not okay". Also, because of opposing opinions based on a plethora of reasons it is next to impossible to find a ground that everybody can agree to (See: The Terry Schiavo Case).

It's a very touchy subject, I think it needs a lot further thought to by the general public so we can try and find a fair balance to it.

Wait, wouldn't forcing it upon somebody just be...murder?

I suppose. I meant like talking them into it or something though.
