Euthanasia is common in some countries in Europe where it is used as an excuse to murder those who can't speak for themselves. I would rather live in a nation that respects life than one that thinks people should be treated like an animal.

And no murder is not widespread in Europe using Euthanasia. Even in countries where it is allowed it is not common by any stretch of the immagination.

Since this is supposed to be a free country, if someone wants to end their life out of their own free will, then the state has no authority to say one way or the other.

Take a look at what is going on in Holland. At least of 1/3 of the people euthanized did not request it. In some cases, those who were euthanized had specifically stated that they did not want to be euthanized.

It would seem to be the case that infact it is not legal Euthanasia in Holland unless it is voluntary.

And how many doctors have been prosecuted for euthanasia when it was not requested by the patient? None. Holland has slid down the slippery slope to doctors deciding whether a patient has sufficient quality of life no matter what the patient's wishes are.

A society pretends that it can (and need!) to punish a woman who had to kill her son!

Duh!
But what if I'm like Stephen Hawking and I can't do it myself, but I can communicate to others that I want to die? (Like he communicates math formulas to others?)
THAT'S what I was arguing for; a place where you can go and have it done SINCE YOU CAN'T DO IT YOURSELF!
