Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
Here is a link to a just published article about a doctor in Australia, that had to travel to Switzerland, to ensure a dignified death. As I have posted before, I fully support this way of exiting life, and barring unpredictable ( [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) accidents, I will choose the same way.
PS This is self chosen euthanasia, not a decision by relatives or state.

Re: Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
A persons right to die with dignity should be respected as a personal freedom and protected by constitutional legislation. Thank you for the article.

Re: Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
Of course an individual's right to determine the course of his or her own life is solely in the judgment of the individual.
In health-related terminal illness cases, this is a very obvious concept, and the rights should be respected. As for individuals that are judged unfit to determine their right to take their own life. I tend to think that there should be an attempt to help them try to look at it in a better light, and if that simply does not help, then you have to think if they feel, despite their apparent inability to correctly judge the merits, that it is better for them to take their own life... Let be what may.

Re: Euthanasia, a right to die with dignity
Laws that take away a person's right to die are a violation of the separation of church and state IMO.
Check out this web page on euthanasia (scroll down to the section on "Why Life is worth living: What the Bible teaches"). It lists six reasons why euthanasia is contrary to god's law, including "our bodies belong to God anyway" and "suffering draws us closer to God." So if you are suffering and simply want to die peacefully and with dignity, sorry but we think your suffering is a good thing.
