To the point hat they are best described as merely existing and not living. If that person asked you to end their life out of pity so that their suffering would cease. Would you do it?

The person used to be active, self sufficient and fiercely independent. Now they are bed bound and rely on others for their basic needs.

There is a point of view which suggests that , it seems perfectly reasonable that humans, should be allowed to decide their own fate. Albeit with some help.
Your thoughts on this.

The situation you just put up here suggests that the person still has life . Assuming there's an injunction that says I must take that person's life, I would look for a counterinjunction. Can't live with that.

So a no then?

Did you create the sick? Is he/she your creation? Then you know the answer as you already know good and evil.

Do what seemeth good to you.

Euthanasia

As is, there will be arguments and points thrown here and there which will be filled with moral and/or religious sentiments.

Personally, I’m indifferent, I really don’t know how I’ll react. I pray to God I’m never in the situation to ask for that way out or someone I know asking me for that way out.

Regardless, there are illnesses and accidents that will one in so much pain and suffering that killing that person will be the kindest thing you’ll be doing for that person.

Euthanasia is commonly practiced on people who, after suffering one accident or another, are termed vegetables and leaving them on life support will be a waste of time and resources.

It’s still a heated debate even in developed countries anyway.

I support euthanasia. But I can't carry it out. Even if it entails just pushing a button on a machine. I no fit!

A simple yes or no would suffice...

So let’s say
The person whom you care for deeply is on life support, after awhile you are informed there is nothing anyone can do, sign here do we can switch of the machine. You won’t do it?

You don’t have to be in a vegetative state for euthanasia to take place. You can actually request it .
Six countries allow for that provision
And Six US states allow doctor assisted suicide to take place.

Unless you are completely devoid of empathy, such a scenario should evoke deep emotional reactions in a person. Make no mistake, it is a monumental decision for the person making such a request or the one asked to carry it out. Therefore deep contemplation on all the ramifications should be expected.

That said, I think people in such situations should be afforded the chance to end their lives with all the dignity they can muster under the circumstances. I can't say for sure if I would be able to carry out such a request but I will definitely make such a request if I was the one in such pain and suffering especially when it is clear nothing further can be done.

I appreciate your candour.

I would blow the person's head off.

There is also the law that says that taking someone else's life — not yours — is considered a crime. So, while it may sound reasonable, you have to ask if the law agrees with you on that.
