> How come we are ok with euthanasia for pets but not people? I think because: - It mostly wasn't an issue we had to deal with until recently because we didn't have the medical techniques to preserve people's lives so long anyway. - There are some concerns around people being forced into it that require any laws enabling it to be carefully designed. - Religion providing it's usual function of inertia around societal customs slowing the change. Pretty much everyone I know under the age of 60 (and many older) support euthanasia for people who have dementia or some other unpleasant condition that affects their quality of life (self-determined, not forced on people), so I'm quietly confident that it will be happen soon. I'll be pretty mad if it's not available for me if/when I get to the point that I want it!
