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?

You know, I thought about this a lot when I had Shiloh put down. Shiloh had no hope of getting better, she was really suffering, and I was, for lack of a better word, glad that I could put an end to her pain. It was then that I thought of people who are termanilly ill with cancer, in so much pain and all family and friends can do is watch and wait. I remember looking at Shiloh as she struggled for evey breath, and thinking if I was in this condition, I'd want someone to end my suffering.

But, that is scary about what's happening in Holland. I guess in concept it's good, but sometimes we humans can carry things a bit too far.

Oh well....just my thoughts.
