In this article I would like to address the Controversial issue of euthanasia since it has many moral and ethical arguments against it that our society should be aware of.
I agree with Euthanasia because I believe that every person has the right to die with dignity and without any pain and suffering. I think that a person that is going through a lot of pain for a long period of time should be able to die because there's no point of living if you can’t live your life to the fullest. I also believe that if the person’s family can’t cope with seeing there loved one going through all this pain they should be able to end there pain so that they can see their loved one die a peaceful death. If the person who is going through all this pain wants to die without suffering and you don't give the person the right to die peacefully your punishing the person for the rest of their lives. Some people can’t eat, drink, walk, talk or even blink because of their deadly illness that is nearly impossible to cure but they're forced to live this life even though they wish to die. People that have a life like this think that there's no point for them to live because it’s already like they're dead. You can’t force a person to live like this because the person is suffering too much because of their illness and their family is suffering because they don't want to see their loved ones live a life like this. The fact that some doctors let sick people suffer like this even though there's no chance of them recovering should be a crime. Many people saved other peoples lives by Euthanasia because they donate there organs so that another person can live a life worth living. It’s very sad to think that some people are forced to suffer because they don't have the right to die a peaceful death, some people have to travel to another country so that they can die without any pain.
On the other hand, many people argue that life and death shouldn’t be in the hands of humans since only god controls those aspects.Others also argue that it isn’t marraly right to take a life that by chance may be speared.To further explore this opinion I talked to a Walthamstow resident that holds these beliefs and she said, ”I strongly disagree with euthanasia since I only believe in the power of god.”
I also believe that you need to give the person some time because you never know if they're going to make an extraordinary recovery but if that means waiting for months or even years it’s better if you just let them go and die without suffering any longer.
In conclusion I believe that Euthanasia should be legal if the person has a valid reason to undergo the procedure.
