(c) Post a link in your blogs on any article on the issue (Anything aside from wikipedia)
Yes I agree on the usage of euthanasia. Although there are many articles and people that says that euthanasia is as if the person is commiting suicide, the person that is utilising it is murdering the person and it is inhumane. However one should not play god and decide how they want that person to die. It is the person's own decision. The way they want to die is in their own hands. It is their own choice. It is a painless death, so the person would not be suffering.
In Singapore it is illegeal to use euthanasia on anyone. Although I support the idea of the usage of euthanasia, I do not think it should be practiced in Singapore. I feel that it would be unstable as many old folks would ask to be euthanised as they have nothing to live for anymore. I doubt so, they could find more things to do in life. However, if euthanasia is to be used only for the sick that really suffer if they live any longer.
