I honestly can't decide. My heart sometimes tells me yes, but my mind no.

Why does your mind tell you no?

@ColdPenguin: I may regret it. It also tells me who am I to decide on such a thing. But, I know if some of us here should develop an incurable disease, most of these some would opt for euthanasia. So, it's a decision at that very moment, not before that, I believe. It's also dependent on societies' beliefs & ways of life.

@Nefertum: What if it would be multiple doctors and the patient's choice? So, if it's situational, you think it should be legal for the situations when it is applicable?

@ColdPenguin: I believe it should. But even that takes a long time because everyone should be absolutely sure that the person is going to die, but that only depends on that person. Then, the process has to go through all the bureaucratic holes until all of them have been filled. If the person decides, that person can go to another country where assisted suicide is legal. I don't believe that will be generally accepted any time soon 'cause majority of the populations are religious and that stops them taking these measures because it conflicts with their moral code, instilled since birth.
