If you believe in God, it probably means you believe he takes you when it's "your time", not just when they're miserable.

"If someone is suffering they should have the choice to die if they wish."

There isn't much you can do about this that doesn't involve fearsome government regulation of our lives to make sure we don't end them.

'Suicide is defined as the deliberate taking of one's life, whereas euthanasia means painlessly puting someone to death iin cases of terminal illnesses or comas."

[/ QUOTE ]
There's a reason why suicidal people need help instead of someone cheering them on to "pull the trigger". They're sick (mentally) and if they get help they will probably regret wanting to kill themselves. If you euthanize them, there's no going back.

Was Shiavo suffering?

I don't think anyone can know this.

IIRC, the husband stood to benefit from her death. Was he not engaged to another woman at the time of the decision?

[/ QUOTE ]
More or less. He'd fathered children with this other woman, obviously with blatant disregard for "...in sickness and in health..." Take that fwiw.
