I am having a hard time processing this....

EDIT: [AS IN] I can't seem to form an opinion on this subject as presented in the article. I don't know whether or not to be for it or against it - for this specific ideal.

I have to admit mine stem from watching my grandpa die a lingering death with lung cancer, as well as, seeing euthanasia being carried out on animals. If it's okay to do to animals why isn't it okay to do to humans? Humans are animals too... no matter what the creationists would like you to believe.

But as i said before - i don't have kids - i do have a pit mix though.. and i know that if he ever gets too sick, or bites someone badly i will have to put him to sleep. I will have to kill him. That is not something i am comfortable with but it is my responsibility. I am sure i will have plenty of people tell me it's "not the same..." and perhaps they are right... but it will still hurt like hell to kill something i love so much.

But this topic like all emotionally charged topics are subject to perception. And how i can equate human life to animal life? I am sure it's not normal... sorry guys, never said i was.
