if it were not prohibited, would you?

And would you do the same to an animal, put it out of its misery, if it too was suffering a terminal illness?

Totally depends on how much they're actually suffering, what exact disease they have, etc. But if it were bad enough, I'd easily do both.

I would pull the plug out halfway. My mother always told me I wasn't the type of man who could finish what he started.

Very much so, I'm glad I live in a state where doctor assisted suicide is legal because if I was ever in that situation I would want someone to put me out of my misery so I'd naturally do the same for someone else.

If it was that guy I would first make sure that the plug was not set to some sort of trap. If it was anybody else I would look at the situation fully. If they were really suffering badly yes I would.

Yes, I think it would be incredibly selfish not to.

If I was a doctor and could see that this patient was truly suffering, horrible disease that could not be cured, and sincerely wanted to die, then yes I would. If it was not prohibited that is. Although I believe in an actual situation it has to be approved by the family of the patient.

No, not because its wrong, but if the person wants me to do that, they aren't thinking right most likely and don't understand what they are losing.

Surely.

Is it better to suffer?I think not.

Anyway,it´s that person´s decision and should be respected methinks.

I wouldn't pull the plug on someone unless I had consent from the local authorities.

I'd do it to an animal if its owners wanted me to, but not to a person.

Nope. And I don't think I'd do that to an animal either.

I know that if it were me in the situation I'd want the same thing done, though it'd have to be under extreme circumstances. In pain, no chance to survive, and no quality of life in the current situation. Then and only then.

i would need permission from his loved ones. And as a professional i should also consider the odds of him living or dying.

If they can't do it themselves, they aren't ready to die. I might do it if they physically couldn't do it for them self., IDK

If the person or animal was in unbelievably severe pain, then yes. I wouldn't want to see someone suffering.
