Euthanasia: a cowardly way to die?

Many decisions in life depends on Us, there's others in which we cannot do nothing, but the most important of this decisions in only one... and it will never depends on Us: Live or Die.

Even thought when we consider our life miserable, we can't decide die naturally; to stop it, we have to commit suicide (in this case) . The point is what we can or cannot do about our life, however, it still in our hands to take a decision.

But, when other person life depends on our choice, there's place for a question: it is really our job to do something about? more, if we are under request of the dying person, we must do the executioner character for somebody else?

Euthanasia is very complex topic, in which feelings, logical and judgment are mixed up to take the only decision that we can't take even with ourselves life.

From the point of view of the person who conceive life as a different process for everybody, Euthanasia must be taken out of the context when a request of execution is done. In the other hand, for somebody who "care" or "love" is limitless for somebody else, Euthanasia could be the best option to finish the suffering.

If we have different process in life to understand and learn things , an slow way to die could be one of those process too, right? so, why decide at the last moment to end something that is teaching a lesson, even in our last days?

Personally, I think it's a coward decision to think that there's nothing to do with the experience previous to death. I think, is the life (one more time) trying to tell us: hey, you still can fix it ! you wanna try? or wanna give up?

Why leave the most important decision in our lives in other hands? if we go trough our entire life making decisions no matter who or what we affect, why use the last moment to think that is "unfair" for our families and friends to take care of a vegetal person?

We have the entire life to take care of others, to do the right things, to ask, to feel, to say sorry, to forgive, to regret, to be our better version of ourselves.. it's not enough? We really need to know to where our actions are directed, and what are we doing in life to get the best for us and for everybody.

This simple thing could be the difference between a cowardly death or a satisfied one, and one more time, since we don't decide when are we gonna die or the way or the speed, is better to be sure that the last moment we'll receive the same that we gave in live.
