I'm on the borderline with this. The elderly want to end their lives peacefully but the public think otherwise.
The article says, "It’s awful to me,” Mr. Velazquez, the Tijuana veterinarian and pharmacy owner, said of euthanasia. “I think people should live as long as God decides.”
I agree because of my religious views but then there are people who are in jail for assisted manslaughter and are also in pain, just trying to help a friend out.
I visited the website Exit International to see their reasoning. Their slogan being, "Peaceful Death is Everybody's Right." That had me thinking about those who really need it and those who are depressed. I thought what if a person, who wanted to purchase pentobarbital had a specific amount of people sign a release to purchase it. Then the elder people who need it can leave peacefully at a right. But those who are young and depressed will have a fighting chance.
I'm a bit sad now.
