Upsetting because you were watching someone die. Yes, he was terminally ill, his wife was with him, he was in the comfort of his own home. . . but that doesn't change things.
I don't know whether euthanasia is right or wrong. I've never been in a situation where a change to my health meant that dying might be hetter than living. So for others to condemn it because their religion says they should strikes me as wrong. Especially when these are usually the same people who oppose abortion. By their lights, abortion is wrong, euthanasia is wrong, but sentencing teenagers, the mentally impaired (and above all else, anyone who's black) to death for any sort of crime is OK. And they find nothing wrong with that.
Actually, I HAVE been in such a situation. But I don't like talking about it.
