I mean we wouldn't keep our pets alive if we saw them suffer from a disease especially if there was no cure for it

But what if your pet wants to live anyway?

I know it's silly ain't it? We put our pet down anyway regardless of what they think and yet a human who wants to die for some reason is denied their right. 

In my opinion comparing a cat to a human is silly. Animals are not seen as equals to humans. Not shocking that logical we won't consider there life.

I just see us as another species of animal. No matter how "civilized" we get we don't change really. We just like to think we are separate from nature but we ain't. And no matter how we value other creatures, we have no right to make them extinct and destroy their habitat. 

But anyway, my point was that if you see your pet is suffering, it would be cruel to keep them alive. It would make sense for the same principle to apply to a human who is also suffering. The only difference is that a human can tell us if they want to die and if they do, just let them.  

Personally I would prefer death over suffering. But I want it in my will not decide for me. I think we can agree with this? :)
