Gene Hackman, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, lived in the house with his dead wife for a week before he died.
Of the three dogs living in the house, one died because it was locked in a carrier and therefore probably starved to death. The two free-living dogs were the only ones to survive.
Sorry, are you saying other people should be allowed to “put down” someone whenever they decide it’s mercy? Are you applying your example about putting down pets directly to humans?
You know who had a big euthanasia program? The Nazis. They murdered people who were unworthy to live. They killed (among many groups of people) people born with disabilities and justified it as “mercy”.
I think you meam something else so please be careful what you are writing. It’s easily misunderstood.
I’m talking about individuals choosing euthanasia of their own free will, not others choosing that option for someone.
