Euthanasia Essay

Throughout the years there have been many advances in our medical treatment that give people the ability to live longer and delay death. But the ability to live longer often entails a diminished quality of life for those who suffer from any kind of diseases. But when people are prolonged to suffering from the pain for a long period of time it brings in the factor to start having an interest in euthanasia.
I feel for the people that are all for euthanasia because I wouldn’t want my family member or my loved one to go through the pain and suffering for a long period of time waiting for their death. If we look at life through the patients eyes we could understand how much pain there actually going through. Sue Rodriguez’s who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease showed that she was in enough pain that she fought all the way to Supreme Court just to die. She says
“If I cannot give consent to my own death, whose body is this? Who owns my life?”
This statement is right though it’s her own body she should be able to do what she wants.
There are also many reasons on why people would be against Euthanasia because it is a deliberate act undertaken by one person with the intention of ending the life of another person in order to relieve that persons suffering. So you are taking someone’s life away from living and that is called murder, so it is bad that everyone turns to this option. Just because someone is in pain doesn’t mean you should take their life away if they are still capable of living in any way.
I am all for Euthanasia because if the person that is in pain gives permission to be killed than I think you should be legally allowed to go to a doctor and ask to be put down just like you do to your pet or livestock. Euthanasia is bad yes but if your loved one is dying in pain and can’t take it anymore you should be allowed to help them out by agreeing to their request to put them down.
So as you can see both arguments persuaded a good explanation on why...
