I wish I could of helped my grandfather. His pain was terrible. He died in terrible agony. But I was not there. He asked my grandmother to end his pain. To let him go but she would not do it. I would have. So he could be free from the agony...and free from the pain. I do not think anyone should be left to suffer. If ever I was asked to end someone's pain I would do it.  Life is our's and we should have a right to say when we wish it ti end I beleive,

I couldn't agree more... if the pain and everything is just going to lead to dying in pain rather than being healed then what is the point in it?!

I don't think I could actually end someone's life.  For instance, what if they are killed out of mercy, but the cure for what they have is found in the next few days?  Not saying that's ever happened, but what if?  But, besides all the other reasons, I don't think I could take another human life and not feel a little guilty, even if they were in pain.

Two roads diverged in a wood and I,
I took the road less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Yes but living on what ifs isn't going to get people anywhere... and why would you feel guilt if you're ending someone's suffering... personally I'd feel like I'd done a good deed because that person isn't pointlessly suffering anymore  ;D

Well, it's just the act of taking someone's life that would give me guilt, regardless of the motives.  It would be scary to know that I ended someone else's life.

Yes, but what if that person wished to die? I mean, I know I wouldn't want to live in complete agony, I'd rather die in a fire or something than 'live' a meaningless and miserable life. Would Euthanising yourself be considered suicide, you think, or nature? And if you asked someone to do it for you, because you were unable to do it yourself, would that be for them an act of mercy, or murder?

Well, in all literal sense of the word, euthanizing would be suicide, I think, because suicide just simply means to kill oneself.  And...well, I think in most cases it would be murder.  But that's just my belief.

I wouldn't say euthanasia is suicide... because I know suicide is taking your own life,  but you're going to die anyway so you're just speeding up natural processes.... suicide is taking your LIFE, if you're suffering a fatal illness which is extremely painful and will ultimately kill you and will only get worse then it isn't suicide because you don't have much of a life because you are suffering and are going to die from this suffering sooner or later and the pain will never cease.... so it's not really suicide

Well, I was going by the most literal, bare root definition of the word.   ;)

It's cool. :D

But I do think that we shouldn't be able to take ending of our lives into our own hands like that.

Yes, a lot of suffering is pointless.  Like cancer, for instance.  Chemo and radiation only make it worse.  But there are natural treatments that strengthen your immune system and make it strong enough to fight the disease.  So if the medical people would shape up instead of making it worse...well...

a lot of all the natural stuff that can be used to help peoplez is being destroyed though because people destroy shiz loads of vegetation and it's like... why?? I think money should just not exist so that everyone is equal and the environment is gooooood ;D cave men managed without money... why can't we when we're supposedly more civilised   ???

Well, it's not so much the lack of vegetation as it is that people are so hooked on preservative filled junk that in the long run causes disease and suffering.  So sad.
