Euthanasia also known and mercy killing, is a painless way of terminating one’s own life. It is when a patient is suffering from severe illness or an incurable disease which involves going through a painful process of treatment yet the end result being eventual death, the patient asks for physician’s assistance for a permanent relief i.e. in simpler words asking the doctor to kill you. Some are in support of Euthanasia saying it’s a right of every individual to decide whether they want to live or not, to allow them to die with dignity and self respect, to not be a burden on their spouse and family, to be able to live for as long as they can live healthy and choose death for themselves when they cannot. Whereas some strongly oppose it and say that Euthanasia is disrespect to human life, and a challenge to God. Nobody has the right to choose when to terminate their own life; it is a gift of God, it should be accepted and cherished with even the very little you have.
At the end of the day, the ultimate owner of your life, is you, by law; Banning euthanasia, could lead to suicides, dangerous attempts at amateur euthanasia, and a lot of emotional trauma for those involved. Each case should be considered, and there should be rules regarding when it is permissible.
