Is Euthanasia Legal?

Created: 2008-10-13 23:28:58
The issue of voluntary euthanasia and its legality is one of the most debated dilemmas of society.
On one had, euthanasia is a mercy and a fulfilled right of choice to die. This is the important argument for those suffering pain, and understanding, that sooner or later they will pass away. So why to torment themselves and their beloved ones? And from a legal side of a matter, who has a right to dictate, how one should treat his life? What kind of laws are those, which destine people to tortures?
On the other hand, there are strong reasons against euthanasia as well. People that claim euthanasia to be illegal, state that it is not a mercy, but a murder. Even excluding moral and religious arguments against it, from a legal side euthanasia is seen as a assisted suicide. The right to die or choose to die is not an official right, and cannot be promoted to such. Other cons of euthanasia include lack of professional help, as medicine workers are not allowed to assist a voluntary euthanasia; and a denial of hope - the cure for a specific sufferer can be discovered the next day after the voluntary passing away...

The person inhabiting a body, provided that person is conscious and of sane mind, has a right to sole control it.

For me, aggressive and non-aggressive euthanasia is indeed consider a murder, which I don't really accept it as a mercy. Passive euthanasia is mercy.

Euthanasia should be legal. We think this because it is for the sake, mercy, & pain relief of the person suffering. They have the right of choice to chose whether they should be put throught that process or not.

Absolutely not, there's much too much potential for abuse. Beside, palliative care has come so far that no one has to suffer near the end of their lives.

Euthanasia is ok if the person who receives it is suffering. If they are able to communicate and are in so much pain that they are begging you to just end their life because it would be a relief from what they are feeling they should be allowed to pass from this life to the next. I mean think about it, people put their animals under all the time because they are suffering, dont we want to give humans that same mercy? If you know there is no chance they will ever live a healthy and happy life ever again, they should be allowed to be euthanised. Would you want to go through the rest of your life like that? Depending on others to feed you and take care of you so you can stay alive?
