i had a job where i used to deliver medications to convalescent and elderly care homes... i've seen people who have lost all control of their minds and bodies wasting away the last years of their lives, lonely and afraid.

fuck that.

i completely support euthanasia. i think it should have been instituted a long time ago... i know it goes against the hippocratic oath to never do any harm, but with new diseases and more prevalent life-threatening conditions, it should be an option. i think there should be specialists, just like there are anestisiologists and phlebotomists who can administer specialized procedures. i just don't feel that our resources are best spent on the dead and rapidly dying, and as the "boomer" generation nears the time when more catastrophic things can happen to them health-wise, i think that euthanizing should be a viable option for those who truly need it.
