At my BSMS interview I was asked what my opinion on general euthanasia was and I said that I thought it should be legalised because I have seen so many people who really do have no quality of life and I think its kinder if they die peacefully rather than in pain...especially if they specifically request it.
I think that with children who obviously can't make that decision the doctors should make the decision because the parents are just displaying a natural reaction to the news that their child is going to die however ill they are. A parents judgement is clouded whereas the doctors have a much better idea about the child's quality of life and their prospects. Saying that, I know that if I was in the situation that the parents are in I wouldn't want my child to die but I still think it would be unethical to keep them alive xx
