Euthanasia to end agony

[Alexandoy]

Christmas day is always a reunion in our family's tradition. We were all gathered in my sister-in-law's house where their mother lives. She had a stroke 7 years ago that left her immobile, speechless and now she rarely opens her eyes. My mother-in-law is literally a vegetable.

The family is talking about euthanasia that if it was legal then they would vote for it because they all know that the patient is only suffering. But in our religion euthanasia is not allowed although I have reservations because my mother'-in-law's condition is pathetic that I have to agree that the agony should end.

Euthanasia is legal in Switzerland so if you have the money and time, her agony can end peacefully there. Sorry to hear about what happened to her though 🙁

It's sad to hear that and it is a difficult position to be in. The question her family has to ask amongst themselves is do they want her to continue suffering like that?
