There has been a lot of controversy in regards to this topic for more over than a century. That is because the definition behind the word Euthanasia is basically the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. The word “euthanasia” was first used in a medical context to describe an easy, painless, happy death, by Francis Bacon in the 17th century. Every country holds a different law and belief about this topic and that is because it isn’t a light topic to be talked about. There have been done tons of surveys about this, but it either ends up with more than half of the votes in favor and vice versa. This comes from the fact that there are many aspects to look from, many advantages handed and positive perspectives such as the relief of suffering, reduction of disease spread and so on. On the other hand, some say that it’s immoral to just simply end someone else’s life as if it doesn’t hold any value and firmly stand behind their beliefs that, besides receiving the approval to kill someone, the action still counts as murder. 

See here is where I think they are point on wrong. Not just because my opinion is in favor of Euthanasia, but simply because I think that unless you have been in the position the terminally ill are in, if you haven’t experienced the struggle of the incapability to use their intellectual ability nor reach a glass of water to keep hydrated, or anything else you really aren’t the one to comment.

Seeing someone struggling with lethal sickness and deteriorating beyond recognition, is by itself painful enough, both for that person and for their loved ones. On top of that, not only that their illness isn’t improving but they are being taken away from their choice as a person, the right they have to decide what to do with their life, not have others deciding for them. But I will get into more detail in the following posts.
