I understand the choice of the brothers, but from the perspective of the doctor, it just feels very off to off two adults who still had decades of lifespan left.  It's essentially a voluntary execution.

Boy, if I could pick Languish posters to be euthanized.....

Sounds like a good subject for a new thread.  :hmm:

I have almost started that thread like a dozen times.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe, instead of a Languish thread, we could get an on-line petition going to the White House to have Timmy euthanized.

Is this really euthanasia or suicide?

They received lethal injections at a hospital.  I'd say that makes it euthanasia.  If they'd poisoned themselves, it would be suicide.
