Do you approve euthanasia?

Only during situations when it's needed or appropriate. For example, if someone has a disease that will with out a doubt kill them in a horrible way and they have to suffer an incredible amount of pain, it's very appropriate to use it. However, if someone simply wants to kill them self because they have depression, it shouldn't be used.Media_geek20

Sure, why not?

I approve on many terms such as if you are disabled beyond doing much "fun" in your life.

I do not agree with it if:

1) Your going to hurt others, your family probably love you and so would many others around you it is easier on everyone to rehabilitate rather than simply end your life.

2) You have a duty (cowardice), for example, in a war like WW2 I have read and heard of some cowards that committed suicide rather than helping others through the war.

Before some morons start having a go at me for "Oh you didn't know how it was", I can tell you that the people who survived it would slap you into the next world war.

I am sure there are other points, but my mind has gone dry.

In the case of someone saying straight up "I want to die." Yes 100%. When it comes to people in a vegitative state it's less clear cut (unless they have a living will). Thats when you really have to stop and think what would that person want. Deciding if someone should live or die is really a decision that only that person should make.Private_Vegas

I think your idea of anyone who says I want to die is utterly ridiculous.

Many people fall in and out of depression and at times when they want to die, they should be denied since they will usually soon want to live again. 

As for people in a vegetative state then I believe there should be some sort of check that people do when they are 18, this includes whether they wish for a donor card, will they donate blood ect. and will they wish to die  peacefully if they are in this state. Up to the point of 18 I believe it is the responsibility of the parents or guardians, simply because they will be the next best people to know what is correct for you.

For those who don't know:
Euthanasia comes from the greek words "eu" and "thanatos" what means "good death".
Euthanasia is actually ensuring a painless death to someone who is suffering a lot, or has a uncurable disease, and is willing to die before he get's the unpleasant effects of that disease.
Euthanasia normally is the will of the person who is going to die, but in some cases it's not, as the family and the doctor can also approve it when the patients is in no condition to speak or to think.

Anyway...

I think it should be approved when the patient is accepting it.
Or when someone is living like a plant, not being able to speak, move are having joy in life, I think that when the doctor and the family agrees, it should be possible too.
We also sometimes kill animals to stop their suffering, everyone approves that.
Why can't human beings have that privilege too if they want?
