Euthanize Children?

Researchers from the Dana-Farber research institute of Boston discussed with parents whose children died of cancer the possibility of whether in retrospect, they would have sped up the process in which their children died. A startling number of the parents said they would because the worse thing was watching their children in immense pain. 34% of the parents said they would have sped up the process with an additional 24% said they discussed this with the caregiver.

I personally would speed up the process for my child because I think it would be unbareable to see my child in pain. Although this decision would be extremely hard, I think it would be better to put the child out of his or her pain.
