Abstract
When a human can no longer endure their suffering lifestyle, there is indeed a solution to
their suffering. Euthanasia, the Greek term meaning “good death” is the predominate answer.
Euthanasia is a painless procedure of ending a human’s life, in order to relieve someone from
their incurable suffering or disease. This paper will go in depth on euthanasia and describe why
euthanasia should be legalized throughout the world. Euthanasia supports a human’s right to die,
everyone has the right to choose their fate, as a human you have the right to die. The form of
euthanasia is, indeed, less graphic, and more humane than a suicide. The legalization of
euthanasia would allow for fewer street suicides and painful deaths. Euthanasia is the solution to
incurable disease, terminal illness, or the suffering elderly. No harm is caused to the patient
during the procedure, the patient chooses the drug most suitable for them, and fatal dosage is
used in order to end the human’s life in a painless manner. This wouldn’t only cure physical
suffering but also mental suffering. It would relieve underlying burdens on the family, and they
would no longer have to watch their loved one suffer each day. The drugs have also been altered
for a painless death, making this a more ethical choice when a human is up against the wall.

Every year over 800,000 people die from suicide around the world. It’s their choice, they
choose their own fate. Humans obtain the right to live at birth. Suicide is brutal, and can be
graphic, leaving families in detrimental shock. Over 300 terminally ill patients commit suicide
per year. These patients suffer from incurable disease or are in life long a coma. These numbers
are for suicide are no joke and can be decreased. Elderly patients who just cannot go on with
everyday life suffer day to day. This is where euthanasia plays a dynamic role. Euthanasia is the
use of a prescribed fatal iv dosage, ending a patient’s life, who has been sufferings from
incurable disease or old age. The science and medical prescription of euthanasia is lethal and
ends the patient’s life painlessly. Euthanasia is a humane and painless death; it should be legal
