If a person truly wants to die they can do it themselves, if they cant do it themselves then they dont really want to die.

If someone is terminally ill and no hope/chance of surviving or becoming better then they should have the right to choose to die. But in my opinion thats the only reason it should be legal.

And some people are too religious to even think about that

I agree with you in that

Well... since humans have no soul... and they can kill themselfs at they're will.

I'm just thinking how insignifigant individual human life is.

Eh, I don't think humans have the right to choose whether to live or die, that is in God's hands.
Whoa, my mother's family would've been proud of what I've just said.

Well then you have to ask yourself, if you are to afraid to pull the trigger do you truly want to die?

You probably know as well as most people that emotions can drive someone to want to kill themselves. But doubt and fear stop them from doing it, which is good because their life might get better and they lose their depression. But if they pay someone to do it then they might die over temporary depression that they could have gotten over.

And some people are too religious to even think about that

I would think that killing yourself via euthanasia would still be suicide in the eyes of the church.

I don't understand how we can be so weak-willed and so adamant about "ethics" for euthanasia, but we ignore the thousands of murders committed every day, all the deaths we cause through the technology we use (like car crashes), and the thousands we kill through war.

If you support our military, and accept the innocent and enemies who we regularly kill--without regard to the pain caused or method of death--then how could you be ethically against allowing people who believe they are already dead and must only wait through pain to end their time? How is shooting someone any more alloable than allowing someone to willingly end their own life? I don't believe any of us have the right to deny them the choice.

No doctor should be obligated to act in accordance with that wish, but any human being who is in their right mind (or justifiably close) should be allowed to end their own life. Doctors may reject that desire from patients, and it should not be exercised lightly, but it is the right of a person to live or not live by their own choice.

We're killing oursleves faster than we're killing eachother.
(More suicides than homisides.)

Also did we learn nothing from "Million Dollar Baby" (spoiler coming up), if you want to die no matter what you'll find a way eg. bite your toungue. If we make it legal then some murders may go down as euthanasia.
