Im puzzled. In this part of the world euthanasia relates to people
of sound mind making a conscious decision when faced with a
prognosis which they choose not to live. Yet, most of this
conversation focuses on a decision to cease life by someone else for
an individual who can't express a view ie. coma.

Strange. Are the Australian and US usages of English so different.
Inherrant in any such process is the expression of CONSCIOUS will.
After all, if you don't own your own life who does?

Regards .............. Russell
