Who gets to decide who suffering unbearable pain and who's pain is bearable? What level of pain do you have to live with before you are able to die? Does it have to be physical pain or can mental anguish apply? People with disabilities have already been successfully euthanize. Why are we just stopping at terminal illness with children. We already have children committing suicide because of bullying and abuse. Do we have the right say to them that their pain is bearable? What about the mentally handicapped?
Euthanasia puts us down the path that if you are not perfect or are lacking in some form of function your life is worthless. Instead of helping people overcome their illness or handicaps we give up on them. We no longer need to invest in giving people back their dignity through compassion, assistance and understanding that you don't have to be physically able to do everything so your life for it to still has meaning.
We already have numerous cases of euthanasia being done without the patients consent or without that the proper procedure being done. The safeguards are slowly being eroded. The question we will soon face is when does your right to die interfere with my right to live.

to put them out when there are other options.
Yeah, I know, then you bring up the case of the twins who wanted to die because they were blind. Do you know what they went through?
What do you, ANY of you, know about another person's pain?
We treat dogs and cats better than we treat the terminally ill.

2. If the patient is incompetent, patient's guardian (spouse, parents, next-of-kin)
3. If the patient has no next-of-kin, guardian ad litem.
4. All cases reviewed by medical review board before euthanasia.
5. Only for incurable conditions
6. If the condition itself is not terminal, mandatory psych evaluation
What makes you think hospice is any different? Look up the Liverpool Care Pathway.

On pain:
“Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict,” said Atticus. “She took it as a pain-killer for
years. The doctor put her on it. She’d have spent the rest of her life on it and died
without so much agony, but she was too contrary—”
“Sir?” said Jem.
Atticus said, “Just before your escapade she called me to make her will. Dr. Reynolds
told her she had only a few months left. Her business affairs were in perfect order but
she said, ‘There’s still one thing out of order.’”
“What was that?” Jem was perplexed.
“She said she was going to leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody. Jem,
when you’re sick as she was, it’s all right to take anything to make it easier, but it wasn’t
all right for her. She said she meant to break herself of it before she died, and that’s
what she did.”
