What are people's thoughts on euthanasia?

People are generally for or againt euthanasia, and I'd like to know what people think. I, myself, am torn between pros and cons when seeing how people react so differently when the event actually occurs - when a decision has to be made. What are your thoughts on it, one way or another?

    Nov 13 2011: I am for euthanasia as the very last personal choice. Our society has advanced in allowing people to make their own personal choices, But hasn't (in my opinion) allowed for us to make one of the most personal decisions. In our lives we face medical problems and our doctors give us all of our options and tell us the risks of all of them, and allows us to make our decision. I don't see why this topic should be treated any differently.

    And in regards to cultural and religious reasons against euthanasia those are once again personal beliefs that should only affect personal choices, but if you want to know more about how culture and religion affect peoples' feelings on euthanasia I suggest you study thantology (a field of science that deals with death and peoples' feelings towards death and how to comfort them)
