Allowing someone to die a natural death is not euthanasia. Many people choose not to have life artificially prolonged in the event of catastrophic illness. Just because we can do something doesn’t always mean we should. Artificial ventilation in the setting of an acute illness that one will
Presumably recover from is a great advance. In the setting of terminal illness or chronic disease that has no chance of recovery it can be a curse. But it is not euthanasia to withdraw artificial support. Euthanasia is the active taking of a life.
Suffocation is such a pleasant way to go.
Right?
And re-read post 5.
It says only about not being able to breathe on their own.
As I pointed out, plenty of comatose people can’t breathe either.
Yes, removing ventilation IS euthanasia.
Playing semantics games in this instance is like saying “RU486 isn’t an abortion, it’s birth control”.
