Euthanasia is a very difficult matter.  When absolutely forbidden, it sentences some to horrible, cruel and inhumane pain and suffering; but when the laws allowing it are too wide, allowing people to kill themselves or even having doctors do it for them for reasons that are not eminent death, there are a whole lot of very difficult problems opened up.  What of the children and grandchildren that are deprived of the presence of a family member that would and could have lived for many years?  For this reason I think the state of Montana may have a better idea by decriminalizing it but not allowing rules for physicians to act as Gods.  I do not think that a doctor himself should ever push the medicine that kills, but not to allow a terminally ill patient to take a lethal dose is also extremely cruel and adds to suffering, not palliation of a patients pain and suffering.  The Oregon law is fairly good as the numbers of people remain small. Medical opinion involved butnot doctor termination
