Yes, there is no rational moral argument against it, since no one is harmed.

Yes, but definitely regulated by the law.
I cannot stand to see someone suffer if there is no hope. Plus there are plenty of people out there who are suffering and want control of their own bodies and existence. As long as there is medical agreement on their situation (I would say a minimum of two independent doctors' opinions), then they should have the right.
Also, it should be the individual ONLY making the decision. I'm not sure if it would technically be euthanasia if a family made the decision to let the person go...more like a medical directive.

Yes, if someone knows they have terminal cancer, they
should be of free will to sign a legal paper to say 'when'.
The paper should say something like, when I'm in chronic
pain, getting morphine, having to be fed, wearing diapers,
bed sores, tubes in every orifice & unable to verbally
respond, I should be given IV morphine or some other
resperatory suppressing IV medication untill I fall into a
quiet & peaceful coma, followed by death.
When there is no chance for recovery, I'm against suffering.

Euthanasia would not be needed if we would forgo life support and unnecessary medical procedures. Death is a natural process of nature, it is when humans intervene that the need to force death becomes imminent.

Of pets? yeah. Ive had to get several put down.
People? Under the right conditions yeah. If they are suffering and there is no cure then of course. Who am i to decide if someone should have to lay in pain for 6 months while they rot away from some disease?

Yes I do.. When you are dying and nothing can be done why suffer and let your family suffer when something can be done to relieve that pain.

Absolutely, it should be addressed in a person's living will, everyone should make their own decision

Unfortunately, no. I wish it was legal. It would put an end to a lot of suffering. But the Bible doesn't allow for it. "Thou shalt no kill".
