Mercy killing should be legalized because of the following reasons:
1) The patient is near his or her end.
2) The patient has unendurable pain.
3) All possible ways to avoid the pain have been attempted but are useless.
4) The patient expresses his or her own will to accept mercy, they are never forced.
5) Forcing patients to remain alive against their wishes causes healthcare expenditures to rise astronomically.
6) Allowing the option of suicide for terminal patients would save taxpayers billions of dollars annually.
