It does seem odd to me. When I was a kid, I'd ask my parents why people in hospitals do use euthenasia. To which they'd reply "Because it's illegal" To which I would reply "Why"
I understand why people frown upon killing ones self when you are healthy, but not when you're sickly. I suppose the masses just want to keep people alive as long as possible, under any circumstances.
My seniority means you should probably just agree with everything I say

True, but as mentioned before, being terminally ill isn't. Changing variables doesn't help the discussion.
Sure, a perfectly healthy person who stubbed their toe is fine. Someone who's coughing up blood with two weeks to live isn't. Is it ok to kill one but not the other? I'd say that pretty much sums up what's being asked.

Sounds like the old American "No man left behind." motto that's just caught on with everything else, even things that it shouldn't have caught on to.

But seriously bru, I don't think anyone would have a problem (morally) with letting a terminally ill dude that's in heaps o' pain choose to end his life. Objections?
So the only issue that remains is whether that ill guy can give the doctor guy permission to kill him. Thoughts?
From my point of view, He was doing all-good.
There are some people who cannot see others in pain and can just do ANYTHING for them to release their pain.
He would have thought:
"If death is a way to stop their pain, then so be it."
