In my stance I'm clearly against euthanasia, because the way I see is what dignity do they have? To me, I think its like abortion. Why slough someones life away? It's no use. For example, if someone were to be in a coma, they can't speak for themselves. What if they still wanted to live even if the coma didn't last long. It is like murder. But an exception ould be like in the article of an Italian father being accused of murder. It states that "it was his daughter's wish." If they tell you they don't want to live anymore then obviously they don't want to. But if your the one making the decision for them, don't "kill" them. I can relate to this, not personally but my friend Denisse has experienced this with one of her friends named Dave. She got a phone call from her Dave's parents saying he was in a car accident and was in the hospital on life support. Dave reluctanly dying made a phone call to Denisse telling her about his parents pulling the plug. They didn't know that was going to be the last time they would talk. Dave was pronounced dead the next morning. After the funeral Dave's parents with pantomime expressions were given pugnacious looks since they decided to "kill" Dave. While Denisse keeps droning to herself softly "what kind of parents would let go of their son's life?"

sometimes it seems as murder but really i can relate to this too my cousin died when they pulled the plug. Maybe she didn't want to die or maybe she did nobody knew and it was impossible for anyone to know either cause she had lost 60% of her brain already. Sorry adriana but i am really against your stance on euthanasia.
I agree with you in a way. If the person wants to die than it's their choice and no one else's. Though it couldn't have been easy for Dave's parents to do what they did. I'm not saying that I agree with what they did, but I do sympathize with them.
