Does euthanasia always ensure a painless, dignified death?
A lethal dose for one person may not be so for the other. Also there is the phenomenon of idiosyncrasy. Who knows: a drug that is lethal to one patient may be harmless to the other. Many of the lethal injections have been known to cause violent convulsions, and relatives have been asked to leave the room while the deed is done. Passive euthanasia is generally peaceful. But euthanasia activists believe that a quick end to the suffering in a painful disease, when there is no desire to live a hopeless life, is by far the better choice.
