Not the dog!
There are so many excellent reasons for believing in euthanasia. Here are some from a country where euthanasia has been practised for 10 years now.
In Belgium, euthanasia is more often granted to people suffering from mental illnesses like chronic depression etc. The law requires that a
patient's free decision has to be established before medical doctors can give the lethal injections.
My mother suffered from chronic depression. In April 2012 she was euthanased at the hospital. The doctor who gave her the injection never contacted me or our family. I am still trying to understand how it is possible for euthanasia to be performed on physically healthy people without even contacting their children.
The percentage of assisted deaths in Belgium without the patient's request was more than 31 per cent. The worst occurs in northern Belgium, in Flanders, where 47 per cent of the people put down went unreported.
