Ethanasia is leagal in many western country but most of the eastern countries like Nepal oppose to the idea of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment.

Do you all think a person should be given a cold sleep, quiet and painnless death, if we know that he/she don't have any hope to recover or should we let our loved ones suffer and die eventually just because we want to see them live longer, eventhough he/she cannot do anything but to lie down in a bed and wink their eyes??

Okay...
Hunk in grave:.. I am well aware that euthanasia is something u provide to end a pain of dear one or self. But, my dear, are not we all enveloped in worldy pain in one way or the other ... which is actually more unbearable..than the physical pains inflicted upon you. But putting that question aside, there still is so many facets to this issue.... like Neupane says. And ofcourse legality? really a freedom of chice??? Lets say, for Terry's case.. how could one be really sure what SHE had wanted in the depth of her being??
....SORRY i am a vegetarian..and for the exact reason. But that does not mean I abhor the ppl who eat meat. goat is meant to be eaten... it is provoided to you (by GOD or whoever you would rather.... that SUPREME power).....for your conveneinece, this is why we are on the highest tier of biological pyramid.

Anyways, Hunk in the grave, when you know that no technology, surgeon or medicine can save the person and he will have to bear the pain all by himself until he dies..... then u gotta believe there is SOME POWER SUPERIOR TO YOU. U could be deplete of options but that power would not be. THusm, see.. I am being actually more pragmatic here. Euthanasia is NOT pragmatism, it is running away from pain, and more of being enslaved to your sentiments, then being practical. where does legal issues tand hre then/

Scarlett... u r right.. euthanasia can never truly be justified!

Thank you everyone for putting your 2 mins of effort to discuss on this matter. I've been thinking about this for years cause i've seen lotta people around me who are practically being a burden on their family. Just cause of one person the whole family gets disrupted. Is that worth it? the one that is in bed will definately gonna die sooner or later, there is not even a single hope that they will start to walk or to talk or to show any emotion again and their family spending fortune just to keep them alive.

About 5-6 years, someone I know gets into coma. This guy was pretty well off so the family started taking him whereever they could for the treatment. Time passes by, hes been dragged in the stretcher from one country to another. Now slowly the cash is gettin outta bank and since he was the bread winner, they didn't have no other income but to use the family savings. The medical support is thousands of rupees a day just for the hope that he will wake up even when the doctors have given up!! His wife sells most of the property, started living in rent and still going through his treatment just cause in Nepal, you can't pull the wire if the guy is still breathing. Their son almost goes nuts. Rest of her family started to avoid her thinking that she will go to them for help. She is practically in street these days. What doctor told her was he will eventually die when one of his organs fails and she will have to keep on treating him till that day. she is doing the best she could. She doesn't even have no flesh in her body no more.

I think this is little unfair to her. Just cause of that one person which no one has hope he will walk again, her entire life got messed up!!

Felicity, do you think that is fair???

Nepalipoonte:

of course when we see it from our view.. it definitely seems unfair. but if u see it from her view.... u may be surprised that she would rather die than to see her beloved die. saas rahunjel aash. And...... if i were to think of that for my man (GOD FORBID)... i would do anything in my power to just to be able to see him for another iota of a second!!!

And...of course again..... like i say.. i believe in power beyond us.... .

Well Nepalipoonte, you put up a good hypothecical example and i'm replying to this hypothetical case only. you cannnot generalize from one incident. in this particular case it should be the will of the wife. However, it seems like you are measuring life in terms of money!
As far as Euthanasia being never justified. i do not agree with that. It can be justified in some cases. Hunk, gave a good way to determine "Prospective Candidate" for Euthansia. i have another question though how long is "long period of time" a month, year, 5 years 10 years? Even this may seem a short period for some....

Dangerous Tranquilit I wasn't measuring life with money. I was giving you a situation. and the things that I've written, that ain't hypothetical. The wife was willing to pull the wires cause she is sick and tired. Shes couldn't do it cause its against the nepali law to take a life of somebody who is still breathing no matter condition s/he may be!! Thats the word she got from docs....

Megalomaniac, nice nice, had I knew you had written something on this topic, I'd have contacted you directly:).

Nice write up. Again the main problem is how much is "enough evidence"? i definitely agree with the part "should be accompanied with other strict laws ."
NP, sorry about the misunderstanding.
