Euthanasia

  Setting: yesterday, in my R.M.P.S. (Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies) class

  Debate: Is it worth living if you have some sort of illness or disease, not necessarily terminal, which
               causes you a great deal of pain?



  The conversation went something like this:

  Me: There are so many painkillers out there that such pain could be subdued.

  Other Person: But if they have such a condition where they cannot move properly, they may not feel as if they want to live anymorebecause they can't do as much as they used to do.

  Me: Well you'd be able to do a lot more than if you were dead.
 
  Other Person: ...

  It was a very short debate.
