Is it all right for a civilised humane society to want to relieve suffering through death?
No. The supporters of voluntary euthanasia often equate sick and disabled people with animals by saying “they wouldn’t let an animal live like that so a human shouldn’t have to either.” But humans don’t have the limitations of animals. Even though humans allegedly feel pain more than animals they can communicate thoughts and feelings, mentally share in another’s life and use lots of different art forms to create extensions of themselves that could survive long after their life has ended. Humans are worth far more than animals.
