Should we let people commit suicide when they are terminally ill?
Yes, we don’t let our pets suffer, so what should our loved ones not get the same care
* Yes, and not just terminally ill people, anyone of sound mind should have the option without judgment from others.
* Yes, we don’t let our pets suffer, so what should our loved ones not get the same care
* My grandfather pulled out his feeding tube when he was tired of being kept alive by machines.
* Honestly, it’s against the law in the usa. Until the law changes it’s a moot philosophical question as failure results in jail time and psychiatric evaluations, further more loved ones of such folk will be heart broken no matter what
* Yes. They said the door is always open
* Yes. Their life, their choice.
* “Should we let people…” Calm down, Stalin. Live and let live.
* End their life with dignity and grace you mean..yes I agree with it without doubt.
* If you are suffering from terminal or chronic illness and the system repeatedly fails to meet your support needs then it should absolutely be legal to end your own life on your own terms. It’s not called suicide, its called death with dignity.
* Tough question. I think no
* I prefer legalizing euthanasia in every country than suicide
