Euthanasia
What is your stand on the topic of Euthanasia? Do you think a person who is terminally ill and wishes to die should be given that wish without any laws or Government interfering? Why/Why not?

RE: Euthanasia
I don't like the idea of assisted suicide, if that is what you are asking. I think there has been a lot of attention on this very sensitive topic and I deplored the live airing of an assisted suicide on the British television in the recent past. If someone is terminal, they would be on Hospice and they do everything possible, short of administering lethal doses of drugs, to help the person cope with pain and die a 'dignified' death. When the person is actively dying, believe me, they do administer a lot of morphine, buy they don't completely knock them out so that they die fast. They give enough to keep them comfortable. I don't know why anyone wants to just end it like Kevorkian. I think Hospice helps with the dying process, that is all the emotional/physical/spiritual changes that occurs when one is faced with dying. This support is not just for the person, but his/her family as well. With that available, I don't find it dignified to go out and commit suicide.
