As a kid, I used to worry a lot about the problems of the kids in Asia. It was during the latter, horrific years of the war in Vietnam, and I heard about both on TV news without really understanding, I must have linked them in my mind with "youth in Asia" (euthanasia).

I am another submitter who thought Euthanasia was "Youth In Asia". I thought it was a foreign exchange student program. (I believed this until just a few years ago!)

I use to believe as a kid that Euthanasia was accually THE YOUTH IN ASIA.My mum gave me a rather funny look when I mentioned that.

When I was young I used to believe that Euthanasia was a youth movement in Asia- how naive is that!!!

I used to think that euthanasia was "Youth in Asia". I never understood why that could possibly mean putting a animal to sleep!

The word 'euthanasia' always confused me. How did a bunch of young people over in another continent relate to the old people they're talking about on TV? ("youth in asia")

When I was young and heard about euthanasia on the news, I thought they were talking about "youth in Asia". Someone was talking about how bad euthanasia was, and I thought the young people over there were rioting.
