If you can't see the newsworthiness of this story, the problem is yours.

It's unconscionable.
They should have just aborted it. That would have made it all A-OK.

Why do people commonly consider this practice "humane" when discussing other animals?
What does the gay community have to do with euthanasia or transgender surgery?

I highly doubt that.

You're right they have to go through like so long of psychology or whatever sessions for like a year or more i think.

But in all honesty, I think most if not all psychologists know that these people are mentally ill. However, they like having the steady income from these people. And they don't want to get "sued" by telling the patient they are crazy and that they can't have the surgery done. So they just rake in the cash, and then say "OK", and then after the surgery the person is still mentally ill, and they get repeat business from the same person.

Human beings are above animals, a human life is worth more. If a human and a dog were drowning and I could only save one I would save the human. Only a far left loon thinks animals and humans are equal.

The gay community and their activists don't believe in transgender people receiving mental health because they believe that people are born that way and that it's a perfectly normal behavior, and to suggest that such individuals receive mental help makes you a homophobe in their eyes.

They share the blame along with his parents for causing him to become the way that he was. I believe all transgendered and gay people have gone through something similar or something happened to make them that way. Even if they don't want to admit it, it's a mental health issue.

US code considers humans as animals. Animals are just a very broadly labelled group. It's a legal definition.
7 USC § 136 - Definitions | Title 7 - Agriculture | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute
Can also refer to science.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal
Beware that word (homo)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo

As to being equal, I did not see such a claim. However, your term equal is extremely broad and undefined. Equality needs to be in relation to something else.

More valuable in what way? Do you think humans would do well in a system with only themselves?

So life quality doesn't come into the discussion? Free will?

You seem to be over generalizing in your judgements.

It was the outcome chosen by the patient. All other things being equal, it beats him emptying a bottle of pills or jumping in front of a train.

What I can't see is why a bunch of conservatives are always so interested in what transgender people are up to. I see the newsworthiness of this, I don't get the rights' interest in everything transgender.

Intriguing. I see this as a major mental health issue. But, she/he felt like a freak. Death wanted, and given. Government sanction of death to transsexuals...isn't that something Germany did years ago? With older people, people with disabilities, terminal illnesses...anyone Jewish...just a slipperly slope here...

It's ironic how liberals make the claim that conservatives hate transgendered and Gays, but yet you are the ones supporting the killing of such people in this very thread through "euthanasia " and we are the ones who are against it and want them to live and receive help.

Where does this Liberal "Logic" come from? Supporting the killing of people doesn't sound like you love them to me. It sounds like something a Nazi would do. What's next? Supporting the euthanasia of poor people and the elderly who don't want to live anymore because they feel they are a "burden "on society? You should be against suicide, you should be trying to help people.

The modern day liberal is a scary thing indeed!
