Why are animals treated with more humanity than fellow human beings?
When a pet is old, frail, sick, terminal, etc... its owners often make the decision to euthanise it to save it from a painful end to its life. If someone were to permit an animal in their care to die after suffering an excruciatingly long and painful death, they would undoubtedly be labelled uncaring and inhumane. Why should this sentiment not similarly extend or apply to humans in similar situations where they, unlike pets, can also have the capacity to [i]expressly consent[/i] to being euthanised?
Is it not more [i]inhumane[/i] to allow a fellow human being to suffer a painful end to their life?

You are a dick and selfish if you won't put someone out of their misery when they are in irreversible pain due to age, sickness or dying. My folks told me if they were on life support, pull the plug and that's what I'd do.. I don't want them to suffer or be a vegetable and they don't want that either, who would!?
