Please Ponder…

Recently there’s been a show on television about euthanasia and how we should make it a viable option for humans. While this is a rather controversial subject the point raised by the pleading party was that we consider it a humane thing do to for animals, yet cringe and plead immorality when the same idea is put forth for human patients. If one looks at it this way one can see that double standards still do apply to our relations and as such an animal's life is considered to be so much more expendable than a human life. When did it happen that humans developed such utter ego’s that we have accepted the responsibility of determining the value of life. Should it not be up to the patient, especially a human patient to determine his or her own path? And while no judgements are being made these are a few points to ponder.
