What is your opinion about euthanasia?

It’s so commonly accepted for animals, why should someone not be allowed to make that decision for themself?

I don't have a problem with it but it can't be used too loosely because it's kind of a final thing that shouldn't be taken lightly. I think in Sweden or Switzerland, I don't remember which, people who want to die are there for about a month before they make their final decision. I think there could be exceptions like if the person is terminal and doesn't want to go painfully, there shouldn't be a waiting period but for the rest of the people there should.

I do believe though that people have a right to die as much of a right to live.

But I have no issues as long as it's carefully planned out in such a way that doesn't involve corruption also. I could imagine that people can use euthanasia to kill someone who didn't want to die, angels of death come to mind 😂

All in all, I think it's a lot better than trying it yourself and failing because if a person is that determined, they'll do it anyways and that would cause them more pain.

Part of the reason why people have a strong opinion about euthanasia is that we are too attached to our physical ego to admit that sometimes it's the moral thing to do. They mean well in their hearts but it ends up being selfish since those people have no solutions that could make the person's life better from my observation.
