Euthanasia
http://breakthroughtogod.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/144.jpg
The only four places that today openly and legally, authorize active assistance in dying of patients, are:
1. Oregon (since l997, physician-assisted suicide only);
2. Switzerland (1941, physician and non-physician assisted suicide only);
3. Belgium (2002, permits 'euthanasia' but does not define the method;
4. Netherlands (voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide lawful since April 2002 but permitted by the courts since l984).
In England and Wales there is a possibility of up to 14 years imprisonment for anybody assisting a suicide.
France does not have a specific law banning assisted suicide, but such a case could be prosecuted under 223-6 of the Penal Code for failure to assist a person in danger.
Japan has medical voluntary euthanasia approved by a high court in l962 in the Yamagouchi case, but instances are extremely rare, seemingly because of complicated taboos on suicide, dying and death in that country, and a reluctance to accept the same individualism that Americans and Europeans enjoy.

I think that assisted suicide is a form of murder, and I belive that suicide is bad. Suicide under God is very bad because you murder yourself, and it is a sin to kill and it is much worst to kill yourself. Also, there have been cases when a patient, after a very long time, recovers miraculously, with no medical explanation, hope should be the last thing that should be lost.
