[QUOTE="Sir Speedy, post: 224522"] I thought about this today, funnily enough. Murder, in my opinion, is where one person kills another against their will; without mutual consent; killing an innocent person etc ad nauseam. Euthanasia (sp?) is totally different: if someone is lying on a hospital bed - essentially a vegetable - never able to move again and being kept alive on a machine, then the most humane thing to do is to put him/her out their misery, right...? And if they give permission in some way that proves that they want to die, why deprive them of a privilege that is effectively theirs? The religious factor seems to affect any topic like this. If it weren't for religious reasons, I can't see any reason why anyone would be against euthanasia... I'm not religious - I don't buy into the whole "Don't play God" factor - so it's a shame, I feel, that people legally have to be left to suffer like that... [/QUOTE]
