In principle I would be for euthanasia, but I agree DA that there need to be safeguards, this is a complex and emotive issue.
In the last week of his life my father was put (after discussion between my family, and the medical team)on a palliative care plan 'The Liverpool Pathways Plan', which is basically legalised euthanasia. That plan has now been withdrawn in the U.K., largely on the grounds that the guidelines were being misinterpreted by medical staff. For an idea of the issues involved a google search will get you there.
It's coming up for two years since my father passed away, and although we are still agreed we did the right thing in agreeing to the 'plan', I think it still haunts us all.
Of course being out of it on morphine and other things,my dad was in no way able to agree or not to being put on this plan. With euthanasia in terminal cases that is going to be the position more often than not i.e. it's families making the decision to end it.
