What do i think about euthanasia?

Euthanasia is the process of painlessly helping a terminally ill person to die also known as assisted suicide or mercy killing.

Propose

Quality of Life: The pain and suffering a person feels during a disease, even with pain relievers, can be incomprehensible to a person who has not gone through it so therefore it is acceptable to just terminate his/her life in order for him to stop from suffering.

Economics cost and human resource:
Today in many countries there is a shortage of hospital space. The energy of doctors and hospital beds could be used for people whose lives could be saved instead of continuing the life of those who want to die which increases the general quality of care and shortens hospital waiting lists. It is a burden to keep people alive past the point they can contribute to society.

Oppose

Moral: Some people treats euthanasia to be a type of murder and voluntary euthanasia as a type of suicide. Many argue that quality of life is an issue, while those on the other side believe life must be preserved at all costs.

Necessity: If there is some reason to believe the cause of a patient's illness or suffering is or will soon be curable, the correct action is sometimes considered to attempt to bring about a cure or engage in palliative care.

Theological: Voluntary euthanasia has often been rejected as a violation of the sanctity of human life. No one have the right to interfere with a person's right to die, no one but God has the authority to determine when a person is to die. It should be by the wish of the patients himself however in many issues government itself decide someone's life cost.
