Is euthanasia considered acceptable in Buddhism?
What is your opinion about this issue?

I believe in total freedom of choice, so long as it does not hurt others. I think you should be allowed to make the choice of wether or not you wish to kill yourself, though it's sad that some really want this for themselves.

However, those people should be made to go through Psychological diagnoses, like Transgenders are made to, to determine wether or not it is depression, a temporary thing, or something they truly want for themselves.

I know that Doctor Kevorkian had some patients who were diagnosed with alzheimers, and before there mind became too far gone to realise themselves and the world, wanted to pass on, peacefully, with family and loved ones at their side. He too, also spoke with them first, before giving them the oppurtunity to choose their own end.
