Euthanasia will always be a touchy subject. Here in Canada it is illegal, and we had a few cases where the legal system saw itself torn in the debate of suffering versus merciful death. I know that if I was suffering and I knew there was no cure I would prefer to die, rather than prolonguing my suffering and that of my family. However, if somebody in my family was seriously ill and suffering, I don't know if I could assist them to die. I think it will always be an extremely difficult subject, like abortion and other things related to death.
