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?

2 RisposteI got mixed opinions on this subject here DAZ. I've had a grandmother who had alzheimer's. It started early and then got worse and worse. It was hard see that. Her memories disintegrating. Then it brain function. By then end of it she could not recognized none of us. She was stuck in a special care home. At that point most of us was wishing she would just die. But I am not the one to decide faith (Due to religious beliefs) Other side of the coin You're getting rid of hope. You're giving doctors the ability to kill. If pass over that moral line what's going to stop us to go father.
