euthanasia

Im sure someone has brought this up but i didn't see it and have been thinking alot about it tonight. I think it has become a "hot" issue right now because of Million Dollar babies the clint eastwood movie and the terry shiavo incident.

What are you guys opinions on euthanasia?

Do you think it takes away human dignity. In my book starving another human being until they die is not very dignified(in the case with schiavo)for example. Her parents were willing to take care of her but her husband claimed she didn't want to live. So is it ok for the state to get involved in these cases and decide. Polls show that the majority says the shouldn't. So then is the docotors choice. I heard a disturbing point made recently that when doctors see no chance in a babys survival or if they are severly brain damaged doctors will often times pull the plug. In some cases they consult the parents but in others they do not. Is it right for another person to determine the fate of someone else. In oregon people are allowed to choose if they want to have doctors pull the plug also Holland. But hollands stand on it i think is much worse. Parents are allowed to be as selfish as to say they don't want to keep their baby if it comes out with a disability or retardation. Because they do not want to raise the child.

Also if we allow people will severe illness to engage in euthanasia then will severy depressed people be able to go into the the doctors and say"yo doc i can't stand this place can you kill me" why can we kill people with severe illness and not people with severe psychological issues. How will we draw the line?
