euthanasia

Define “euthanasia”. Then explain whether you agree or disagree with the practice and why.

Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or an irreversible coma. I agree with euthanasia in some circumstances and disagree with it in other circumstances. I agree with it when an animal needs to be put out of its misery or when a human is in an irreversible coma. I think it is only right for them to stop the pain. I disagree with euthanasia if the person could be helped but they don’t want to be like a person who is mentally ill and just wants it to end. I don’t think that is appropriate because they could get help. I also disagree with the death penalty. I think that even though those people took innocent peoples lives away we should still treat a person’s life with respect because a life is precious and that they can just sit and rot in jail. I don’t think that we should be savage like and kill them. Overall, euthanasia can be a really good that helps people who are suffering or it can be a really bad thing if people do not use it wisely which is why I can agree with outlawing it because people take advantage of it.
