Euthanasia.

In a society where medical science has not just 'moved the goalposts' but 'transported them to a different hemisphere', where do we stand with euthanasia?

Today 'the old man's friend' - pneumonia - is no longer allowed to take its merciful course.

You would literally be prosecuted for allowing an animal to suffer like we permit some humans to do.

Yet consider the dangers; the undue pressures; the misdiagnoses; the suicide mentality being encouraged.

We argue that Man should not take life as he is 'playing God' but to what extent is Man 'playing God' by ill-conceived preventions of dying?

I cannot get my head around this issue. It is not very often when I refuse to take sides.
