EUTHANASIA

Euthanasia
Euthanasia is just another word for "mercy killing" as some people put it but it also
means good death. I look at it as more of a good death if it is performed with the right
procedures and if a person has a legitimate reason to be put to death but many people
would not agree with me that it should be legal. There are several categories of
euthanasia but in general they are all somewhat alike, the kind I think should be allowed
and not looked bad upon to give the doctors that assist in the death is voluntary
euthanasia. If a person has a terminal illness and wants to put them selves to death
because they are suffering I feel that they should be allowed to do that under some
certain circumstances. For instance if a person is constantly in pain or has a very bad
health condition that is only making their life a living hell they should be allowed to
have a doctor help them to their death so they can be put out of their misery. Also the
doctors that help the ill to their death should not be perceived as bad people or murders
because if a person has a good reason and wants to die I think that they should be given
that right as long as it is not used as an easy way out of hard times or troubles. If you
think about it why should a person not be allowed to die in a humane manner with the help
of doctor if they are really suffering because if they really want to die then they can
do it themselves which is called suicide but I feel that voluntary euthanasia is a much
better way to be put to death. Their will always be pros and cons of euthanasia but I
think that when a person makes the decision themselves and asks a doctor for help it
should be legal if the person is mentally stable and has a good reason or reasons to want
to end their life.
