Euthanasia And Assisted Suicide

Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit.” People all over the world, suffer from painful diseases and illnesses and become desperate for assisted suicide. There are two types of euthanasia. The first is voluntary euthanasia, is when the person who is killed has requested to be killed. The second type is involuntary euthanasia. This occurs when “euthanasia is performed on a person who is able to provide informed consent, but does not, either because they do not choose to die or because they were not asked.” It is our decision whether we want to live or die, or how long we want to live or die, therefore voluntary euthanasia is appropriate, for somebody who is suffering

If the judge granted Sue Rodriguez assisted suicide her pain and humiliation will come to an end and her soul would rest in peace. This is why voluntary euthanasia should be legal to use on anybody who is suffering everyday from aching and illness. Nancy B, 25, whom had been suffering from progressive motor paralysis, was stuck to her hospital bed. After winning the case, she had successfully been granted euthanasia to be practiced upon her by the judge. Since everybody has the right to live and make personal decisions, Nancy B has the right to end her life as she has a good reason. Nancy B and both Sue Rodriguez admitted their sufferings and gave permission to doctors to perform voluntary
