Right to die

It is pretty obvious how most folk on this site feel about abortion. Most feel that it truly is not Pro choice because the baby does not have a say it the decision.

A topic I have not seen come up since the Teri Shiavo fiasco is "euthanasia". In the case of Terri Shiavo, it was rather ambiguous because she never specified on paper what she would have wanted if she became brain dead or a vegetable. That being said I feel if a person makes perfectly clear in their will, living trust or statement to their doctor, there is nothing wrong with it. This truly is pro choice because it is what the individual wants.

Wikapedia says:

"Active euthanasia is illegal in most of the United States. Patients retain the rights to refuse medical treatment and to receive appropriate management of pain at their request (passive euthanasia), even if the patients' choices hasten their deaths. Additionally, futile or disproportionately burdensome treatments, such as life-support machines, may be withdrawn under specified circumstances.

A recent Gallup Poll survey showed that 60% of Americans supported euthanasia.[30] Attempts to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide resulted in ballot initiatives and legislation bills within the United States in the last 20 years. For example, Washington voters saw Ballot Initiative 119 in 1991, California placed Proposition 161 on the ballot in 1992, Michigan included Proposal B in their ballot in 1998, and Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act."

I respect the people's views on abortion butI feel the government should butt out of this personal choice.
