Euthanasia and Elderly

Many elders, such as, Mary Alice Altorfer, have a great fear of having to use the euthanasia process. Euthanasia which is defined as physician assisted suicide, is often a very controversial topic. This article fights for the right to choose euthanasia. Many elderly people can accept that they have reached a point in there life where they have had enough, and the pain they experience is no longer tolerable.

Many elders would actually like to have the option of euthanasia, as an escape from their pain and suffering. Do you believe they should have such an option? or is life too precious to be taken? If a person is suffering or a 'vegetable,' is that enough reason to defend physician assisted suicide?

  1. Although I would feel extremely bad for the person suffering , I'm against Euthanasia because life is just way too precious to just give up on. You can't escape reality. Physician assisted suicide would just be the easy way out.
