i'm a supporter of the choice of euthenasia, i don't agree that it should be used in all situations. However, i lost my grandma about 2 years ago to cancer, it was a horrible horrible thing to witness because my family is all very close. She was in so much pain and just wanted it over. The toll it took on my family was horrendous and my aunties (3) are still haunted because they were with her 24/7 until the day she passed away. The hospitals could no longer do anything for her, so they took her home to die peacefully, but looking back now, it just makes you wonder about quality of life i guess.
i would never want to put my family through that kind of pain, nor would i like to be reduced to that state either. Ideally we should all be able to go peacefully with as little pain as possible, now, it's just a matter of being given that option or not. It's not playing god, it's showing mercy and love to someone in a terrible place.
