  • I don’t have a problem with this. We’ll do it for an animal in a hopeless situation, or extreme pain.

    If a human has an incurable, agonizing death awaiting them, or a hopeless brain injury, and they in the former situation, or their family in the latter agrees euthanasia is the best course, why deny them?

    My niece had a best friend who suffered a severe, traumatic brain injury in a car wreck, and laid in a hospital bed in her parent’s house for close to 2 decades. Couldn’t speak, couldn’t communicate, or control her body in any way, and just moaned an writhed.

    That’s not a life. I don’t want to think about if there was some spark of lucidity trapped in there that long.
