Active euthanasia should not be legalized anywhere, however physician assisted suicide should be
Euthanasia is not federally legalized in America. However, states like Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New Jersey, Maine, and Washington D.C. have legalized some form of assisted dying or physician-assisted death.
No it's not. In fact, Netherlands is the first country which legalized euthanasia. There are very strict rules for euthanasia. And sometimes it's considered a crime. Euthanasia is only legal when someone has to suffer forever and many doctors agree with it. So it's hard to get it in the Netherlands.
Many people think so, but clearly there are many opponents as well.
The Netherlands legalized euthanasia on Monday April 1st, 2002. It was practiced illegally for many years prior. This was the first country in the world to make it legal.
Laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are in place to prevent abuse and to protect people from unscrupulous doctors and others. They are not, and never have been, intended to make anyone suffer
In May of 2002, Belgium passed a law legalizing assisted suicide. It appears the law went into effect in September of that year.
Belgium has a long history and many interesting facts. One interesting fact about Belgium is that they legalized euthanasia in 2002 and gay marriage in 2003.
Greed is the short way of putting it. To elaborate if you legalize euthanasia in any form it then opens up more doors, you have decided that killing another person who is suffering is ok but there are those who would have you put down because keeping you alive was more expensive or they simply wanted their inheritance. If it was legalized and your greedy daughter for example wanted money for a upcoming vacation she could convince people it was kinder to kill you now just so she could have her way. That's when you get organized crime involved in this racket and soon murder has been legalized just renamed.
A supporting thesis statement for euthanasia could be: "Euthanasia should be legalized as it provides a compassionate option for individuals facing unbearable suffering and terminal illnesses, allowing them to exercise autonomy over their own lives and deaths. By implementing strict regulations, society can ensure that the practice is safe, ethical, and respects the dignity of patients, ultimately promoting a humane approach to end-of-life care."

As of now, euthanasia remains illegal in South Africa. However, the country has made significant legal strides towards allowing assisted dying, particularly with the 2015 case where the Constitutional Court recognized the right to die with dignity in certain circumstances. While voluntary euthanasia is not yet formally legalized, there is ongoing debate and legal consideration regarding the practice. The landscape may evolve as public opinion and legal frameworks continue to develop.
