Should Lana be euthanized??

[Superman of Krypton]

Shes in a persistant vegetative state..

Shes in extreme pain accordining to Brainiac..

Is it right to let her continue to suffer?


Is it time for Lana to be put down?

[herolee10]

well in all fairness, Clark knows that if he defeats Brainiac, then Lana will return back to being normal so I don't think he'll pull the plug on her as long as he's certain that he can bring her back.

[Superman of Krypton]

That may not be true.

Brainiac is defeated in "Apokalypse" (18th episode) but Lana (Kreuk) won't be back for the rest of the season.

So its likely Brainiac's destruction won't cure Lana.

Something else will have to... next season.

I don't think so I mean even if she is in pain there is still a way to save her, euthanize is for people that are in pain and are going to die anyway so no real reason to prolong it unless you expect a miracle.
In this case she can be saved so if as long as there is hope there is a reason to live, IMO.

Brainiac is defeated in "Apokalypse" (18th episode)

Where did u hear that?

[Cl4rk_K3nt]

It said somewhere Clark's Final Battle with Brainiac.

[ClarksGal]

I think that Chloe will heal her in the finale. And whether she survives that will depend on whether AM is coming back or not.

[Lara Lane]

^^ Chloe can't heal her in the finale. KK won't be available to shoot the finale, she'll be in Thailand giving WuShu-Taichi kicks.

[redraven]

No Lana shouldn't be "euthanized"! What kind of question is that?

Sure, she may be in a catatonic state, but how does Clark know that Brainiac's not being deceitful and manipulative when he's saying that Lana's in great pain and suffering? And like another poster said, Clark probably believes that if he defeats Brainiac everything will return to normal. However, I'm not sure how they're going to work everything out if Brainiac is defeated before the season is over...

Chloe can't heal her because her state is caused by BRAINIAC and Kryptonian technology. Chloe can only heal Lana's hand, but not remove BRAINIAC from her.

But I do wonder whether if Lionel still was the Oracle as in season 5 he could cure her...

[smallvilleusedtobegood]

Yes, Lana should be put down like a sick dog. I'm serious.

[GuardianAngel]

No Lana shouldn't be "euthanized"! What kind of question is that?



I was shocked when I read the title of this thread, too. What kind of question is that???

[kentfamily]

Can you say euthanize on a person? I thought the word was used for animals. That word sounds very ominous. I think it is very HARSH to use that word on Lana or anyone else. Does Nazi ring a bell?

[finalbahamut]

That's just cruel. Lana is too important to Clark to be just euthanized. She can survive that suffering coz she died in an old age when her future is read by that blind woman back in season 1.

[nemrod]

this would normally serve as an end of season cliff hanger, but it's not the end of season, normally the worst end of season catastrophes are rectified by the end of the first episode of a new season so i guess she may get better quickly but need to go away somewhere as she was traumatised by all the pain she was in..... it is to soon to be putting her down like an animal? even if some people here seem to detested this woman who has not even had the chance to know the joys of free will, she is a personage in a TV series and so is not responsible for her actions or in control of her destiny (which in this case will keep her safe for the moment but ultimately take her from her love)

[ClarksGal]

^^ Chloe can't heal her in the finale. KK won't be available to shoot the finale, she'll be in Thailand giving WuShu-Taichi kicks.

You're right. I forgot about that. Well, then I'm stumped!!

[SteveS]

Euthanasia doesn't exist in Kansas or the United States, it would be considered murder or manslaughter were one to do so, and you are forgetting that she spoke to Kal-El. Not quite a vegetable or even a fruit.

[Jack-El49]

Shes in a persistant vegetative state..

Shes in extreme pain accordining to Brainiac..

Is it right to let her continue to suffer?

No, but threads titled this way should be.

[curiosity]

That may not be true.

Brainiac is defeated in "Apokalypse" (18th episode) but Lana (Kreuk) won't be back for the rest of the season.

They film out of order, and could have filmed a few scenes. You never know.

[kryptonaidxh]

:DYes, she should be, for Clark´s good and for our mental health state, so we won´t stand her anymore:rolleyes:, I sorry what Braniac did to her but on the other hand...Please Braniac don´t heal Lana!:lol::rotfl::lol:

[Superman of Krypton]

that she spoke to Kal-El. Not quite a vegetable or even a fruit.

That was Brainiac using her body, speaking through her.

[LexLuv180]

Truthfully this topic has the potential to be too heated for a message board. The controversy over euthanasia of people is pretty complex.

As a comment to the thread, of course I dont believe she should be, as there's still a chance to help her. Clark's already shown his thoughts on it in - season 1? season 2? - where he said that as long as there was life left, there was still hope.

[skizzo]

Obviously not, what a stupid topic. As far as I know Lana didnt say she wanted to die, and as there is a "cure" they should do everything to reverse the situation.

[Honey45]

They haven't really tried to beat Brainiac yet though. It would be a little silly to euthanize her now before Clark even fights him.

[xrayvision]

Why didn't Clark place her in a padded cell and have her put in a straight jacket so she couldn't her herself until she's cured? Or better yet, why the hell didn't he take her to Jor-El. Or run to Jor-El after leaving her in an institution to find out how he could cure her?

[LexLuv180]

Clark doesn't have access to a padded cell, and the straightjacket thing seems cruel. They'll watch her in the hospital and won't let her around any more stoves. Not sure on the Jor-El thing, he must totally not trust him right now I guess.

[SueB]

I'm appalled at the title of this thread. You don't euthanize people.

[gategod]

I think the writers should go jump off a bridge if they actually leave Lana alive in this state for the rest of the series. Oh all these years, eh.. lets throw it out the window. Yay us She is my least favorite character, but leaving her like this is wrong. Just kill her somehow already or let her leave smallville...!

[Blue screen of death]

Though i really dislike lana and cheered when braniac messed with her head, lana should be givin a reasonable period of time to be cured (ie the end of the series). Clark should be given an opportunity to find a cure or reverse the damage somehow. If he is unable to do so then its time to pull the plug. Leaving her barely alert in a painfull state with no ability to control what she says or does would be akin to living in hell.
