Not for people. The Death with Dignity Act of 1997 grants Oregonians the right to die with dignity and while it is not a simple process, has abundant safeguards and mandates certain procedures which must be followed it is a good and noble law that may not be everyones to every persons liking. See Oregon.gov for a full brief on the Act.

Why do people do euthanasia?

Euthanasia is either killing or assisted suicide of someone that for one reason or another usually as the result of illness does not wish to continue living. The system has trouble getting its mind around the risk of euthanasia becoming a way to do away with people before they want to go. It would not be hard to abuse the laws that would surround euthanasia. It is even likely that pressure can be brought to bear in sick persons to agree to being killed that would not make the decision otherwise. Many people are afraid that the system would be abused, Add to this the religious stand on suicide and this is a pretty hot topic

Should euthanasia mercy killing be legal?

Yes! euthanasia should be legal because if someone doesn't want to live anymore it is there right to decide it is their own life they are taking. ---------- on the otherhand..i believe that everyone has a right to live and that God has an ultimite plan and he should decide when to "take" them. it is also not morally correct to kill someone before they have the chance to live out the disease. _________ While it may not be 'legal' it does happen in the medical profession. We do many things which could shorten someones life but it's in full knowledge of the Kin and fulfils our oath to aid peaceful passing. In terminal death we may administer morhpine. In Resus we may just stop, usually because you're already dead or we see no chance of revival.

Euthanasia against the patients' will is illegal worldwide. Physician-assisted-death, where the patient self-administers the lethal medication, is only legal in certain countries and the states of Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The debate over euthanasia stems from whether it's morally right to allow people to kill themselves to end their suffering from fatal and/or painful illnesses. Most doctors probably consider euthanasia wrong, though some might argue that it's the patients right to decide whether to suffer or to end their own lives.
