Euthanasia is considered ethical by some because it allows individuals to exercise autonomy over their own lives and make decisions about their suffering, particularly in cases of terminal illness or unbearable pain. It can be viewed as an act of compassion, providing a dignified end to suffering when quality of life has severely diminished. Additionally, proponents argue that it can alleviate the emotional and financial burden on families and healthcare systems. Ultimately, the ethical justification hinges on respect for personal choice and the alleviation of suffering.
