Euthanasia

Euthanasia - the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The practice is illegal in most countries. I personally dont think that this practice should be illegal, but of course it would have to be used correctly. Say there was someone who was a vegetable and had no chance of surviving, but the family doesnt want to believe it, it should be the doctors choice to pull the plug or not, especially since its taking up room in a hospital and jsut running up more bills for the patient's family. Also if someone had cancer or was dieing of aids, or something that was causing pain and the patient was wishing they would jsut die already, I think with their agreement that the doctor should be able to peform euthanasia. If I was dieing, or almost dead I would want this to be performed on me. Its allowed on animals, why not us. Where you live shouldnt have to affect the way you would want to die. I understand that some family members dont want to pull the plug, but its sort of annoying because they arent the ones who are in pain. I think that it should be up to the patient/doctor, and the family should ahve nothing to do with it.
