No, I'm not very likely to start supporting letting or encouraging severely depressed people to commit suicide.
"encouraging"? There you go again making assumptions about a case you know nothing about.
That's not even euthanasia to me.
Just what do you think euthanasia is? It IS suicide. Assisted suicide, to be exact.
This is always the case.
When you pull the plug on someone who's braindead, it is not euthanasia.
Euthanasia happens upon the request of the patient. There's a whole procedure and criteria involved as well. It is not at all taken lightly.
It's a procedure that takes months, if not years, to get it done.
I find it morally evil and psychopathic. I believe we all have a duty to each other as members of a common society, to safeguard each other's lives. You can't take back suicide. By killing yourself, you permanently remove any chance of healing.
That's assuming there is a chance of healing.
But here we are at the main point, which I already pointed out. Your objection here isn't about this particular case (of which, as we established already, you know virtually NOTHING about). Your objection is about one thing only: "euthanasia = bad". You don't care about the specific case at all. It matters not to you.
It's a dogmatic stance that you have.
But you can keep throwing a tantrum.
You're the one who's throwing the tantrum...... I'm the one who's pointing it out.
I just asked for some links. Whatever.
Don't ask for things that don't interest you anyway.
If it did interest you, you would have looked it up already.
Note also that I haven't taken any stance here whatsoever on the specific case.
I've only pointed out your extreme judgemental stance, where you insulted and judged the patient, the doctors, her boyfriend, her mother...
And you did all that without knowing ANYTHING about the specifics.
Take a step back, take a deep breath, put your steaming emotions aside for a second and consider that fact.
Do you feel like you honestly are in a position here to take such a judgemental stance on this specific case? Do you feel like you know enough about it, about her specific situation, to take this stance?
Have you even noticed that the article itself, in one of the 2 sentences that actually deal with her situation, it is actually also noted that there is much more going on with her then a mere depression?
I have a feeling that you don't. You are just fuming and get blinded by your, what I can only call, judgemental hatred.
