Euthanasia Is Morally Correct and Should Be Legalized

Euthanasia is morally correct and should be legalized

In majority of the states in America, Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide is being condemned and is being looked down. The doctors involved in performing euthanasia are subjected to punishment and imprisonment. The act of euthanasia is held against them in the grounds of murder, because they authorities deem that it is wrong to help an ailing person subdue all the pain they feel by helping him die faster.

Euthanasia is legally defined as intentionally ending the life of another person in order to alleviate the pain of an illness or condition, as it is requested by the person who dies. Others see it as an act of suicide in the part of the patient, as for the part of the doctor; it is an act of murder. If you look at the aspect of euthanasia, it is different from the act of murder, as conceived by those who oppose it. Euthanasia is helping a dying person die faster, thus letting him evade the sufferings and pain that he might be able to feel when he chooses to go on, continue living (Robinson). The act of murder is deliberately taking or ending the life of a person, someone who doesn't want to die, and is in the perfect condition to live and continue living. Those who wish to be assisted to die are the ones who have terminal illness, which made them hospitalized and bed-ridden for good. For them to continue living is like living a life of more pain, wherein death refuses to take them, making them suffer more. Euthanasia's legality is not questionable, because of the advent of modern technology, physician assisted suicide or death is easier, less painful and more "natural" in the sense that the patient seem to have died a natural death, and did not continue living a miserable life. Euthanasia's take on the morality of taking another person's life is justified by the fact that death is inevitable, in escapable, as for the case of the patient, death will eventually happen
