It's a controversial issue with no easy answer but this is my opinion on it.

I agree with this - I don't think the doctor should be able to make the decision on behalf of the patient because as the previous person sais 'who gets to decide what quality of life and what isn't'. But I do think that if the person wants to end their life but isn't in a position to be able to do it and they want to end their own suffering/pain then assisted suicide could be acceptable.a9436 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 04:15I agree that it is a terrifying amount of power to give, but there is a big difference between the Nazi atrocities, in which the victims had no say, and what happens at least in Switzerland today, where absolute consent is a must and people administer the drugs themselves. Personally, I do not have a problem with voluntary euthanasia as I cannot judge the pain nor understand the situation anyone else is in, but I would be sceptical of a doctor taking that decision on anyone's behalf.AliceofX wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 01:19The problem is who gets to decide what is quality of life and what isn't. The Nazis thought that the disabled and mentally ill were better off dead. I'm not saying that it would automatically turn into a system where everyone not deemed fit is killed, but no system is without abuse. For some people, that's just too much power to give to anyone.Sakilunamermaid wrote: ↑01 Oct 2018, 19:02 I think assisted suicide is acceptable when someone has no quality of life or their every moment is suffering.
