Everyone on this planet is born Athiest, my own country is Secular. - Thus when we start talking about medical issues, religious "law" should not be a factor, it's ultimately irrelevent as not everyone believes/follows whatever religion you believe anyway.
Same goes for Same-sex marriage, religious law/standards shouldn't play a part, if you don't agree with it on religious grounds, then that's fine, but don't restrict anyone else's freedom because of your religion, keep it to yourself.

As someone who works in the Health industry and having to assist those with some highly debilitating issues and immense pain, Euthanasia is a HUMANE practice that should be considered for extreme cases with input from professionals, carers and family in a tribunal like environment.
In somewhere like the USA, people don't think twice about executing criminals. (Some who have been found innocent after the fact.) Yet are worried about someone writhing in pain where no help exists? I think that's some pretty terrible double standards in my opinion.

You consider it humane because you assume that it will end the patient's suffering.  In fact, you have no idea what comes after this life.  Holding up euthanasia as a means to end suffering is total guess-work and euthanasia advocates selling this to patients without a shred of proof of what lies on the other side is wrong.

I for one know that hell is real and I also know that the suffering there is far worse than anything in this life and I want to help as many people as possible avoid it.  That is why I oppose euthanasia.

For the record, I am a Catholic and I strongly oppose the death penalty, as well.

How do you know hell is real?
