Yes, death by choice. Cancer or not, if people want to die, it's their right. It doesn't cost me anything. It doesn't affect my family in anyway, so who am I to stand in the way? In fact, why even ask me, or anyone? Death by choice should be an individual's inalienable right.
Could not agree more. Why do I need to wait until my health is gone? I would like to be able to get a prescription so that, if I am still living around age 85 I can have it available the minute I realize my quality of life is heading downhill. Let's face it, most folks, by their late eighties are not fortunate enough to be loving life any longer. Why prolong the inevitable?
leftists are worried about euthanasia only when the definition of euthanasia doesn't include the termination of viable babies(post 22 weeks gestation) in the womb. many find it acceptable to kill a baby up until s/he has passed through the birth canal.

Death is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than being forced to live with a disease like Huntington's. Please put me down like a dog if I ever get Alzheimer's, severe Parkinson's, or related dementia.
scientists may have found a cure for huntington's. it is very exciting. just in the last few days a scientific paper was reported on this very subject.
It's time to stop ignoring the pink elephant in the room. In the future, people may find themselves out of options when it comes to affording further cancer treatment/other extensive healthcare.
If that's the case, why not allow people to be painlessly and quickly put down with dignity if they so choose? Why force them to be in long drawn out agony until they naturally succumb?
People could legally become euthanasia specialists if they choose - I certainly wouldn't make all doctors administer euthanasia. Probably best if they're separate occupations. Could be lots of jobs created from it.
Are you in favor of allowing people to choose to die with dignity?
Ya... Who lives to be a burden on the world.
That is what they make .38 Specials for, right.

WOW! Not only do you make a lame attempt at politicizing a non-political subject, you demonstrate you have no clue as to the definition of 'baby' which is a new or recently born child.

Depends.
It would have to be completely up to the patient.
In the case of unresponsive patients, a living will would suffice.
No courts, no medical boards, or insurance companies involved in the decision in any way.

Good work!
births at 22 weeks gestation are viable babies outside of the womb. why not inside the womb?
not to side track this discussion, just showing the lack of logic by the left, as usual. euthanasia I support as it is a personal choice by an adult to end her or his own life. a baby has no such choice.

Despite your attempt at hyperbole, a baby by definition has been born and is not in utero. And survival after 22 weeks of gestation is iffy at best plus I'd guess most pro-choice people don't advocate abortion at that stage unless major health issues are in play.

The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday, looked at nearly 5,000 babies born before 27 weeks of gestation. It found that a significant number of babies who were born at 22 weeks, just over five months of gestation, survived after being medically treated in a hospital. Previously, 22 weeks was considered too early to resuscitate a baby because survival rates were so low.
