A statement I've heard before is Pain is living. To some extent I agree with this statement because I always feel that Pain makes us into our unique selves, however, in the case of a person being terminally ill I feel that Euthanasia is the kindest thing a person can do.
There is a slight aspect of, Well I wouldn't call it grief or satisfaction from helping someone die but that moment would stamp your being for a long time, to kill violently or to kill out of sympathy whichever way you look at it is still killing and that can effect the way we live.
In terms of helping terminally ill children I believe that depending on their age it should be entirely their decision, if the child is unable to make the decision it should be up to the parents of the child. It doesn't matter what someones opinion is on euthanasia until you experience something so devastating where a decision like that has to be made you will never fully understand it. A person's mind set is altered completely when experiencing issues like this.
My opinion on the people protesting are that they're idiots. I know it's a strong word to use and some may be intelligent but how can you protest letting a child suffer instead of letting them have a painless end.
The only issue I feel there is with euthanasia is the person or person who help a person end their life when they're terminally ill, are they going to be mentally strong enough not to overcome by what has happened, but if they can I believe they're heroes in disguise.
I physically feel sick when people say euthanasia is wrong, It's just how I've always felt and I'm not saying that other peoples opinions on the matter are wrong but it's horrible to think someone would let a child suffer because of their own naive views.
