People, Pets, And Euthanasia, warning..a heavy topic Options

[Punky's Mommy]

Been thinking a bit lately on the topic of euthanasia. Why is it that we can put pets and animals out of their misery, but we cannot do this to people? When we do it to animals it is "the right decision, the kindest thing, a show of love", but when its considered for people, "It's illegal, it's immoral, it's murder...blah blah blah"

What do you think about it?

I really have to think about this one. On the one hand, if it was me who was doing the suffering and there was absolutely no hope, I would say YES, do it - most definitely. On the other hand, if it's misused it's tragic. All I can say is there are laws in place that prevent it in the U.S. (I don't know about other countries) and, in my mind, for now we need to abide by it. Whether that will ever change in the future, only time will tell.
