Rough+Draft+Euthanasia

Although euthanasia is illegal right now, it is the best way to end a person's life pain free. Euthanasia is a big issue right now in debate. Euthanasia has been considered in countries world wide but has never been legalized due to the fear of abuse. Someone could easily pass themselves off as a sick person requesting euthanasia as an easy and painless way to commite suicide. Although there is the possibility of abuse we could pass laws prohibiting abuse and doctors would have to 100% sure that the are sick and suffering to perform euthanasia. Euthanasia provides a pain free death and should be legalized in countries all over the world.

Background information on euthanasia is needed if someone is going to appeal to court about legalzing it."Gloria Taylor is terminally ill with Lou Gerig's disease and the 63-year-old is challenging the legal prohibitions on assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia. Her case will give the country's top court occasion to revisit the issue" (Guelph Mercury 1). If they already going to revisit this issue then why didn't they legalize it earlier. This can't possibly be the first person to challenge the leaglization of euthanasia. Dr. Nitschke perscribes a drug for South Australian women who are close to death to help her sleep (General One File 1). This is a painless way to die because they can choose to die in their sleep after they take the drug. The only thing is that the drug Nembutal is only for South Australian women who are close to death to help her sleep. A seriously ill man in his 70s drank poisonous liquid to end his life painlessly in an assisted suicide (Mirror 1). This is also another way of euthanasia that is probably a little more painful but it still is euthanasia because someone gave him the poisonous liquid. This man probably hired someone to give him the liquid because he probably didn't want to have to go find it if he was seriously ill. Now, euthanasia is illegal but as more and more people keep killing themselves and requesting euthanasia it is bound to become legal soon.

Drawback information is very necessary on both sides of an argument to show who opposes the person. Dr. Moor states that euthanasia is silly remarks to the press (Independent 1). Dr. Moor thinks that euthanasia is not much just silly remarks to the press. Dr. Moor may be right, but euthanasia is actually happening and day by day people are hiring people to give them something to end their lives so they don't have to do it themselves. An author talks about drawbacks if euthanasia is permitted (Independent 1). This certain author says "TRY AS it might, the British medical establishment cannot sweep the issue of euthanasia under the carpet of discreet pragmitism." Not only our government is trying to abolish euthanasia but the British government is too. Euthansia is scraing people. It is making them uneasy about euthansia (Courier Mail 1). Nothing will make the public more comfortable about euthansia. Even if the people who are pro euthanasia try to talk them into it it will not work. Euthanasia can go either way it can go to illegalization or it can be legalized, the people who oppose euthanasia will try to illegalize it again.

If euthanasia is not legalized then people will never again be able to die a pain free death. Herald Glasgow wrote that we have the choice to die when and how we wish (Herald Glasgow 1). This statement could be very powerful when debating about this topic. We can choose how and when we die. We can choose how we want to die if that means euthanasia or just regular suicide. "No third person can force a terminally ill person to live if they decide to die by voluntary active euthanasia" (Times of India 1). This is so true because any normal person would not let someone restrict their pain or lack of pain. Every human decides for themselves, this is what makes us human and nobody can take that away from us. Herald Glasgow also wrote that the euthanasia is Greek for happy death (Herald Glasgow 1). This can be very powerful when this topic comes up. Euthanasia is Greek for happy death so if someone want to die happily they use euthanasia. What Herald Glasgow wrote is very helpful and also what the Times of India wrote will help us when it comes to debate.

There are a lot of different opinions about euthanasia, but it should be legalized world wide. People usually fear pain, but whenever euthanasia is illegal it takes away their rights of getting to die when and how they want to. We can die when and how we want because of what Herald Glasgow said. He also said that euthanasia is Greek for happy death. Euthanasia provides paing free death and should be legalzied in countries all over the world.
