Argumentative essay Topic: should euthanasia be legalized? Making decisions related to life and death is never an easy issue, especially when it comes to taking one ‘s life. Therefore, euthanasia, which is the practice of ending the life of an incurable patient without pain, has been and still remains an extremely controversial issue. Everyone has their own opinions, but I strongly support that euthanasia should be legalized for many reasons. An important reason why euthanasia should be legalized is that it limits the patients’ unbearable pains. It is undeniable that SOME patients have no chance OF RECOVERY. They LEAD a passive life ON life-support machines and THEY WILL never lead a normal life. They suffer NEEDLESSLY AND are more dead than alive, and might never get better. Patients not only suffer these awful pains physically, but also cannot do anything to lessen their emotional pains. Mental sufferings ARE always more miserable than physical pains. The most important issue is that patients do not want to become their family’s burdens. Anyone who witnesses these pitiful conditions and profoundly sympathize with their misery, might choose euthanasia to be the most proper choice for them In addition to the intolerable pain of patients, the reduction of THE family’s sufferance is another reason why I choose euthanasia. Incurable illnesses need a long treatment and high-priced medicine to prolong the patients’ life. It absolutely cannot eliminate their miseries completely. It just extends the pains of both the patients and their families. After the patients decide ON euthanasia, some families do not want to do it, but they are harming the patients and themselves. When the patients die, their families have to live paying all the deBts. They have not enough money to support their own life. The patients do not want their families TO shoulder their own pains The most popular opposite reason is the unethical APPROACH TO euthanasia. Opponents of this position believe that so-called euthanasia is just a murder or killing somebody. Murder, however, is the cold-blooded termination of another’s life, and euthanasia is the right to suicide. If everyone has the right to live and develop, why do not they have the right to die? For example, let US imagine you are a patient who sufferS a terrible accident. You are unable to move, you have TO lie on your bed 24/24, and the ceiling is the only thing you look AT every day. The GREATEST ANGUISH is that you know perfectly what is going ON around YOU. You just lie there day-to-day and watch everything in your life passING away. You cannot even cry a tear to sympathize WITH yourself. Who would want to live a life like that? Thus, euthanasia seems to be the best WAY OUT for these wretched people. In conclusion, when patients who are hopeless CASES choose euthanasia as a meanS OF PASSING away peacefully, their families should respect their decision. It is obvious that euthanasia helps the patient serenITY and assuageS their families’ burdens. Thus, it is high time euthanasia WAS legalized :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Good morning Bk. A good essay, which would have been even better had you a better vocabulary.
