Euthanasia is the act of a physician or other third party ending a patient's life in response to severe pain and suffering. People have different opinions about this action to end someone’s life. Everyone wants to live and be healthy, but sometimes there is no chance to stay alive. We know different reasons why people should pass from life. In most cases euthanasia is carried out because the person who dies asks for it, but there are cases called euthanasia where a person can't make such a request. There are some advantages and disadvantages of euthanasia.
On the one hand, there are some advantages of using euthanasia. Many people ask for euthanasia because of unbearable pain. It is good that our medical technologies found the method to let people die easily and without any pain. Sometimes it is better to not allow ill people to suffer the pain. Euthanasia is a decision for people whom nothing helps. Also people who are commonsense have a right to choose. There are many types of diseases when any medicine can help. People do not want to agonize and always can ask for euthanasia. It is normal for the elderly when they feel that they will die anyhow. They choose to die earlier. What is more, physician uses euthanasia for a coma person. It is good to use this method for people who are in coma for many years but physicians must be sure that person in coma will never wake up. It is good for relatives who do not believe that ill person will ever wake up. Relatives always have much time to think about this decision. Also, euthanasia is known as “easy death”. It means that person do not feel pain so relatives can be calm about it.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. Countries, where euthanasia is legal can use it very often. It means that people die unnaturally. Death should be natural. Many people who lost their relative using euthanasia can later feel guilty. Also, many young ill people can ask to end their life but it is really hard to do it because of youth. Patients who are young have much more possibilities to recuperate than elders. It is bad choice to use euthanasia when they are unsure. In addition, doctors should be allowed to decide whether such treatment is in the patient's interests. It is bad when physician are blamed for it. What is more, euthanasia is a murder. It is very difficult to decide about someone’s life. Everyone has a right to live. Euthanasia is very serious and responsible step. We have to think humanly about everything and never let to die people who want to live.
To sum up, I would like to say that euthanasia has both pluses and minuses. It is good to speed up the inevitable and also save those persons from so much needless suffering. Euthanasia helps people who ask for it but it is hard decision for relatives and physicians. Euthanasia sometimes is a help sometimes it is a murder. It depends on the patient’s condition.
