Legalization of Euthanasia

Currently lots of debates are going on between physicians, religious leaders, lawyers, and the general public on the subject of euthanasia. This includes voluntary euthanasia , active euthanasia, and passive euthanasia . Canadians spend billions of dollars on health care and some feel that euthanasia or mercy killing can be justified. The question remains unanswered: should euthanasia be legalized in Canada? Euthanasia is the act in which a person who is terminally ill and suffering is killed painlessly with the consent of the patient. It is also known as mercy killing. The first society which supports euthanasia was established in Britain more than 50 years ago. It is presently called the World Federation of Right-To-Die Societies. Euthanasia should be legalized in Canada because it will prevent needless suffering endured by numerous terminally ill Canadians who desire a painless death. It is also a violation of human rights if an individual is denied the freedom of choice. Others believe that euthanasia should be legalized because in doing so it would reflect the will of its people.
Firstly, euthanasia will prevent needless suffering endured by thousands of terminally ill Canadians who desire a painless death. Many terminal illnesses cause needless suffering of the patient . By legalizing euthanasia, the patient will no longer suffer, his or her loved ones and the medical staff will no longer have to withstand the pain and stress of seeing the patient suffer, and there would be no needed to pay expensive hospital fees. However, the opposition argues that they fear that laws cannot stop people who want to use euthanasia for ill intentions. Murders are still committed even though the law does not allow it. Euthanasia is practised even though it’s illegal, so why not make it legal and create laws for it to prevent abuse? “If we don't make abortion legal so that people can have it done in hospital, people will die from backstreet abortions.” The same concept
