Why are animals treated with more humanity than fellow human beings?
When a pet is old, frail, sick, terminal, etc... its owners often make the decision to euthanise it to save it from a painful end to its life. If someone were to permit an animal in their care to die after suffering an excruciatingly long and painful death, they would undoubtedly be labelled uncaring and inhumane. Why should this sentiment not similarly extend or apply to humans in similar situations where they, unlike pets, can also have the capacity to [i]expressly consent[/i] to being euthanised?
Is it not more [i]inhumane[/i] to allow a fellow human being to suffer a painful end to their life?

[quote]Is it not more [i]inhumane[/i] to allow a fellow human being to suffer a painful end to their life?[/quote] *Clears throat* Because all [i]human[/i] life is sacred. That means that if you can stay alive for another three days by having your legs chopped off and your bone marrow sucked out through the open wound without anesthesia, it's your duty/responsibility to do so! Because any amount of time you can spend alive is objectively worth it. Even if it costs thousands if not millions of dollars and the quality of life is absolute shit.
