Should euthanasia be legalized in your opinion?
Opinions from Contributors:Note that mercy killing is a popular term for the termination of a person's life as a humane act. The more formal term is euthanasia or assisted suicide.OpinionMercy 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 health care expenditures to rise astronomically.OpinionFirst, the word euthanasia comes from the ancient Greek which means "good death". It essentially means mercy killing, or killing someone who does not any longer want to live. This term can also refer to putting an animal to 'sleep', although in this usage it more often means the killing of someone who it is not economically desirable to save.As to whether or not euthanasia should be legalized, this subject has been the topic of much debate in recent times. In countries such as Switzerland, it is already legal. In the majority of the world, however, it remains illegal. In the U.S., hospitalized patients may refuse life-saving care, but cannot receive doctor assisted suicide. (Euthanasia most commonly is discussed in reference to the terminally ill).OpinionEuthanasia should not be legalize. Doctors would kill more people if they had that choice. For example if a patient looks ready to die and they need to free up some time they would most likely pull the plug immediatelyOpinionYes. Stop the pain and suffering!I think that euthanasia should be legalized in that cases when the patient himself wants it and when his illness very painful and leads inevitably to death... why should we not let them die if they are afflicted of such unbearable pain?OpinionBe careful what you wish for! Today we have access to things like palliative medicine and morphine that relieves, if not completely eliminates, pain. Never before have we had such pain-relievers, and yet the following for legalizing euthanasia keeps growing. Why? Mainly because of a "deadly compassion". Euthanasia is one of those things that sounds good, right? Why should we force someone to live?The question is, ladies and gentlemen, not why should we force someone to live, but why should we allow doctors to terminate patient's lives? In the Netherlands, already over one thousand people are being euthanized by doctors every year without the consent of the patient. We can, and do make the passing of terminal patients better, and we allow them to refuse medical treatment. Sometimes it is better, unfortunately to allow nature to take its course, once treatment goes from preserving precious life, to prolonging suffering death.OpinionThe only argument euthanasia has going for it (unless you count "cutting costs") is reduction of pain. We already have that without killing people. Arguments against legalizing this "Death with Dignity" range from this death desensitizing doctors to asking for death shows an illogical workings of the mind. We should instead give counseling and options to reduce pain, not take the Grim Reaper into our own hands.Within certain limitations and as approved by an appropriate authority, euthanasia is entirely legal in several areas.OpinionAs to those without it, it seems nonsensical to prolong suffering when there is absolutely no hope left for that person's recovery.OpinionIt depends on the circumstances, if somebody is going to die in pain and there is no chance of them getting better then it's best that they settle their affairs and choose to die on their own terms rather than wait and suffer.OpinionAbsolutely. For once, animals have it better than humans do. When your animal gets old and can't live life anymore, we as humans have the right to end their suffering so they don't feel pain anymore. It's disgusting to me that a human is forced to endure a slow painful death rather than a peaceful one at their own timing. Human euthanasia should be legalized but with strict guidelines. If you want to die because you are depressed or whatever, then no. But if you are a terminal cancer patient or in chronic pain due to a disease such as Parkinson's or MD/MS, then yes. You should have the option to end your life at the hands of a trained physician.OpinionNo. It is immoral.OpinionYes. A person should have the ultimate control over their own life. Many people would choose doctor assisted euthanasia if it was available. In fact, many do. Many dying people have asked a family member or partner for that kind of help and many have honored that request. It has been performed for centuries where family members and family doctors have honored the wish of a dying relative or patient to help end their suffering. The right to die should be as respected as the right to live. It should be a matter of personal choice and should be carried out with all the support necessary to make one's last hours comfortable and safe, and one's passing peaceful. It is widely available in some areas.
