I don't understand why it's humane to euthanize suffering animals, but intelligent humans are not allowed the same dignity.

OH, I don't know, maybe it's that little thing called a SOUL?

Oh you mean like Terri Schiavo, who was murdered by the order of the courts.

In the Netherlands,
assisted suicide soon turned to euthanasia.
At the outset, only for the terminally ill.
Now the chronically ill.
Initially for physical illness.
Now for psychological distress.
At first, strictly upon voluntary request.
Thousands of cases of euthanasia now occur
without a request from the patient.
Apparently you missed that part.

Most animals are euthanized not for suffering but because they are inconvenient.
That's the point of the article...

I don't understand why it's humane to euthanize suffering animals, but intelligent humans are not allowed the same dignity." 1) You understand don't you, that in the same way that apples are not oranges, humans are not animals. Thus, your lack of understanding is based on a misunderstanding of the value of human life.
2) People have always been free to kill themselves. As long as they don't enlist others for assistance, there is no legal issue (the morality of the act notwithstanding).
3) What man can do, man will do. "Mercy killing" will eventually lead to "merciless killing", as human life - and dignity - are further and further eroded.
4) Be careful what you wish for...

You’re getting the slams you had to know were coming when you posted. I’m with you, though…I, for one, will not be dying in a hospital bed, in diapers and drooling on myself. “God will pardon me. It is his trade.”

We eat animals, too. Wanna legalize cannibalism?
