Gene Hackman, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, lived in the house with his dead wife for a week before he died.
Of the three dogs living in the house, one died because it was locked in a carrier and therefore probably starved to death. The two free-living dogs were the only ones to survive.
Sorry, are you saying other people should be allowed to “put down” someone whenever they decide it’s mercy? Are you applying your example about putting down pets directly to humans?
You know who had a big euthanasia program? The Nazis. They murdered people who were unworthy to live. They killed (among many groups of people) people born with disabilities and justified it as “mercy”.
I think you meam something else so please be careful what you are writing. It’s easily misunderstood.
Euthanasia can be voluntary.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, and frankly, people like you are the reason that so many people are forced to suffer through an undignified, painful and traumatic death, despite the existence of better alternatives.
Please be careful what you’re writing.
Fwiw, I understood their comment as “everyone should have the right to decide when they want to die, we need death with dignity laws”
I felt the implication was people with terminal illnesses and such.
I did not interpret it anywhere near “we should murder healthy people against their will in gas chambers.”
I’m talking about individuals choosing euthanasia of their own free will, not others choosing that option for someone.
