"Euthanasia" Friend or Fiend?

In as much as I would identify euthanasia as criminal and wrong, I do
think the whole controversy surrounding "it" depends on how well one
argues it out in proving one's view.

Sincerely, I wouldn't like to be one sided but place myself in the
scenerio, in the eyes of the patient, groaning in pain and the doctor's,
trying to alleviate the pain.
