When I was 12 years old and in junior high, I wrote an essay on euthanasia 
for humans.  I was in favor of it then and I still am.  I think it's tragic 
for people to have to suffer as many do on their way to a painful death.  I 
also realize there is no way to make the judgment as to who should be 
euthanized and when, and the possibilities of abuse for criminal and selfish 
reasons are abundant.  So I guess we'll just have to muddle along the best 
we can.
