There are some Canadian politicians pushing for legal euthanasia to rid their country of mentally ill citizens.

Is this something that you would support if our highly intellectual politicians in D.C. chose to pursue?
And if so, why?

I am generally for it is cases of elderly and suffering terminally ill people.

not in this case and I have a hard time believing there are Canadians even suggesting this.

I would be fine with it in some cases. For example, once someone with Alzheimer's gets to an advanced enough stage.

Euthanasia or assisted suicide?

Euthanasia is a slippery slope. If you've ever seen a terminally ill patient you know it's heartbreaking to see them suffer. The best we can do is make them as comfortable as possible while their body shuts down. I would be hard pressed to disagree with humanely allowing them to end their own life.

However, there are people out there dealing with treatable problems that shouldn't be given up on. Many of the issues people view as hopeless are products of modern living. I'm not willing to sweep all mental illness under the same rug. That creates too broad a standard and one that some people will take advantage of.

Killing the “unproductive” is a necessary evil of socialist systems.

I’ve seen well meaning relatives make their loved one suffer for months, and put their dog down out of compassion.

Euthanasia is evil.

And why is suffering bad? Don't we redeem ourselves through suffering?

To be fair, these mentally ill f*cks did elect this pure piece of f*cking FILTH to be the Prime Minister. Therefore, it seems that at least half the country is mentally f*cking ill and should be euthanized.

This is the true "my body, my choice" issue as it directly only affects that person. I have zero issue with a person electing to have this medical procedure.

I support the right of someone to decide they no longer want to live.

What kinda question is this? Of course it’s good, one of my favorite things of all time. I wish they could bottle the stuff.

Tell us the Washington monument is flying around DC 4 times a day. That would be more believable.

I am not in favor of it. God decides when we are to die.

I’m okay with it for terminally I’ll and the old that would like to check out on their own terms. Those that surfer debilitating and constant pain shouldn’t be forced to live out their days in misery either.
