  but euthanasia is like delivering the patients away from the pain they are suffering.. not playing the role of god but sometimes dun't u tink that its better to end their pain rahter than letting them be tortured continuously .

  does it make it right?
  
  even if someone tells you to shoot them, it is still premeditated and should be counted as murder?

  My current opinion of this is that it shall be allowed, particularly in Singapore, though under strict regulations.
  
  What I am thinking now is that for old-age patients that are still aware of themselves, suffering from terminal diseases and have to spent a lot of time going to hospital back and forth, just to do whatever can be done about the disease.
  
  In such cases, since we all know the relatively high medical costs that can be incurred in Singapore, such patients shall be given the option to undergo euthanasia. This will release the pain and suffering the patient will have to go through, plus reduce medical costs for their families and free up medical resources as well.
  
  Why not?

  i dun it is wrong even if it is not right.
  
  to me, it's like aborting a defected baby, it's not really premeditated i mean something have gone wrong with your health, even if u recover your health, there's still chance of a relaspe and your health will never be as good as before, u could end going in and out of hospital and incurring huge medical expenses
