Euthanasia

[ExUnoDisceOmnes]

What do you think the Communist view on Euthanasia in the case of painful death is? Is it the individuals right? Or do you think that that individual could contribute more to society?

[Proteus]

Surely if it is the individuals wish to die and end their suffering then they should be the master of such a decision and no one else if they have their faculties. A person should have a right to a good life and all the material things needed and also the right to end it all if they wish.

[The American]

I think it should be your choice if you want to end your pain with peace and dignity.

The right to die is a fundemntal human right. If humans own their lives, then they can do what htey want with it, right?

Finally a true ethical question!:)
Obviously, its the wo/mans choice once again to take control of his/her body, especially in cases like this which we are talking about people in huge pain and in avoidable death!
Letting him/her suffer cause we think is unethical, its unethical for "us"..

I'm glad this is one of those topics everyone on Revleft can agree on.
