Best Answer

Utilitarians believe that any action should cause the greatest happiness for the greatest number, and the end result is what should determine the moral worth of the initial action.

They believe that since euthanasia will decrease misery and pain then it is morally right. One has complete sovereign over their body and any decisions to be made about one's body are up to them and no other authority. If one prefers to die than suffer any more pain, it is ultimately their own decision and the government should have no right to interfere.
