Ok, I have thought about it, I actually came up with my answers quicker than I thought I would. Here's what I feel about Euthanasia...
I would hate to see a family member suffer from sickness, and I would hate to see my family members suffer from my sickness. But we cannot make the decision on who lives or dies. I am against Euthanasia. It is God's commandment, "Thou shalt not kill". That to me means "you can't kill... no matter what"..., no if and or buts. God know what is best and he will handle things in his time.

I'm totally with you on that one. There are so many drugs out there to help with the pain, and it is totally all in God's time

I am for it in the cases where the person has requested in advance that you pull the plug if the situation arises.

Hmm.. I guess I would have to say I cautiously support it. There are so many variables to consider...
But I do know this:
A good friend of mine got cancer in her late teens (before I knew her) and she fought really long and really hard. I met her about a year before she entered the end stages, you know, where there's nothing more they can do but keep you comfortable.
She wasn't comfortable.
She was in agony, for months. And she spent the last week or so of her life begging someone to help her die and end her suffering. It was awful to watch. Had there been a way to legally "euthanise" her I know we, her friends and family, would have supported it.
Oops, s'cuse my rant. I get a little carried away sometimes. :)
