Each individual has a different point of view and opinion on euthanasia which is why this is still an ongoing controversy. There are people against it and there are people are for it. People who are against euthanasia fear that people would abuse this to terminate them self rather than live with sick or disabled. They think that it will devalue other people live who is also sick or disable. No one should feel worthless and give the option to kill themselves because if the person is giving the right care and love in the right environment there should not be a reason to die like this way. People think dying with pain is not the reason why people want to die, it is because they feel that family and society will abandon them which cause them to want to have assisted suicide more. The medical ethics also argues that physician should not proceed with the procedure because they should respect human life as they were giving in the code. This could also ruin the doctor and patient relation due to the patient think that doctor would recommend ending their life. Religious also play a role in this.

If patients have the right to refuse medical treatment, they should have the right to choose to die under certain circumstances. Those being, they meet an age requirement, have a terminal illness, and are mentally unwell.

Incurable pain and sickness should have a way to end.

People will hear or see the word euthanasia and will react in one of two ways. Euthanasia for some is simply another equivalent to murder. For others though, euthanasia is painlessly and quickly allowing a person to pass on and not continue the short amount of life they have left in agony and pain. After researching and looking into both sides of the argument, a person has to come to the conclusion that assisted suicide should be administered to a terminally ill patient if they so wish it, to end their personal pain, reduce the financial effects that can be damaging to the persons family and loved ones, and keep the individual and constitutional right of people to determine their life and

One of the big arguments against euthanasia is that it’s irreversible: Once the patient is gone, we’ll never know if their unexpected recovery was just around the corner, or if they might have gone on to lead full and happy lives despite their illness. However this argument is made in ignorance of the statistical data. The fact is, recovering from a terminal illness is so improbable it's like a slap to the face of reason. Combine this with the fact that euthanasia is - in most countries where it is legal, reserved for the terminally ill. The final stop before death.

I don’t think that active euthanasia is really an issue if it is what the person wants or if they are incapacitated their will allows it.

Passive euthanasia is when

The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek word for a good death. The definition of euthanasia is the practice of assisting someone who is hopelessly sick or injured die quick and as painlessly as possible. This is what people will turn to when they get in a bad accident and cannot recover or someone who develops an untreatable cancer.
