Euthanasia

Euthanasia is a quick and painless way to "put someone or thing out of their misery." But how do you know if they want to die. they may want to live for as long as possible. To me euthanasia is almost always wrong to do. I think euthanasia is right only if the person is going to die no matter what, or if they are in a vegetative state. That is only for people thought. For pets and animals it really varies from animal to animal. To me if it is a cat or dog I find it that if the doctor can't find a single way to heal or cure the pet and it will die then to me it is okay. But to put an animal like a horse down because it can't walk well that is just wrong. They have no right to kill an animal just because the person feels that the animal is past it's usefulness. If it not going to die then it has a right to live. In the case of Lennie and George I think is was okay, because if George did not kill Lennie then Lennie would have been in a lot of pain and would have a very sad and painful death rather then a happy death. Basically my opinion changes with the situation because each one is entirely different from another and you can't just say that they are all the same. Yes they all involve someone dieing, but the reason the plug is being pulled is different every time. Sometimes it is right to pull the plug and other times it is wrong. It all just depends on the situation.
