I think euthanasia should be allowed for sure in case of humans, I have first hand seen the suffering of some people from terminal diseases and that they shouldnt be given the chance to get rid of that pain they must go through in their last few months, well, that is just inhumane.

Well, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs (and many fish) and I can easily state they have far more value to me than almost any human. I have taken them, I am responsible for them. I see nothing wrong with that.
