Assisted Suicide Legalized

The matter of assisted suicide being legalized has been subject of much debate,

especially within the last decade. For those who are terminally ill, assisted suicide is a way for

them to leave this world in a peaceful, dignified manner, and also relieve the loved ones of the

burden of caring for the one with the illness. Due to the fact the assisted suicide is illegal, many

terminally ill people are suffering, and living horrible lives they do not desire to live, and it is

necessary that there is advocacy and change regarding this topic; no one deserves to live a life of

pain and misery.

Those living miserable lives of inescapable suffering, with death looming nearby, deserve

the right to assisted suicide, a dignified and peaceful way to die.
My

argument for those that do not support assisted suicide: is someone truly living if they are

existing only in a bed, and the only life­like thing they able to do is feel excruciating pain and

die? It is in no way humane, or even human for that matter, to allow the people you love to

“live”, or die rather, in misery.

All human beings deserve the right to end their lives when they desire, in a desirable way,

and in forty­five states, and numerous countries it is illegal to do so. There must be advocacy for

those who are suffering, and for the matter as a whole in order for assisted suicide to be made a

fundamental right, and not a treatment that is scarcely available. People need to share their

stories and opinions, and speak their minds. Not a single person deserves to be tortured until

death by their own body, and it is our job, as humans, to ensure that happiness and peace are

thriving, and misery dwindling.

Assisted suicide is a right, and it must be legalized. There are hundreds of thousands, if

not millions, of terminally ill people in agony, and they should have the free will to
