Opinion about euthanasia

Lets start by defining Euthanasia, it comes from the Greek(εὐθανασία) meaning "good death": εὖ, eu (well or good) + θάνατος, thanatos (death). It refers to a practice of ending a life in a manner which relieves pain and suffering. According to the House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics, the precise definition of euthanasia is a "deliberate entervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering."

In  my opinion, euthanasia is a good way in which you can help a person to die in a better way when you think is time to go for that person, because sometimes you are in a situation in which apparently you can't do anymore, just finish suffering and die, in that case i think euthanasia is a good solution.

The problem is that sometimes you don't know what can happens, maybe that person can wake up and live a better life after the sickness, I think is too difficult to decide to finish with the life of a person, but is a decision you need to take based on the love you have for that person, your ethics, your religion, all. You are suppose to know that person, so you need to know what is better for him/her.

I don't think I can stop a persons suffering by killing him, it doesn't matter if is by unplug him, giving a drink, or an intravenous injection, I think I am so selfish to let a person I love go in that way, so I am not the person for that job...

Right now think about Gustavo Cerati, Argentinian singer, and ex-leader of the band, Soda Estereo, He is in a long comma, nearly eleven months, after he suffers a stroke. Her mother says that he is getting better, he has some reactions, but he can't open the eyes, so its difficult to say if he is going to get up, but the faith is the last that dies.
