Euthanasia

**Euthanasia**

 * What is Euthanasia?** Euthanasia is also known as “Mercy Killing.” It is the act of putting an animal/person to death painlessly. This happens only when an animal/person is suffering from an incurable disease or condition. (Euthanasia is an injection into a vein.)

The people that say yes to euthanasia feel that they need to go with the American Civil Liberties Union. Here is a statement said in it… "The right of a competent, terminally ill person to avoid excruciating pain and embrace a timely and dignified death bears the sanction of history and is implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” So those people feel that if someone is in such bad pain and feel they can’t go through it anymore, let them make their decision. The people say no to euthanasia because they feel it will change a doctor’s whole role. When doctors take an oath they say they will not harm another a human. But using euthanasia is saying to doctors, “kill me, harm me.” To doctors they feel that it is way too much like suicide. Other people say that if animals or mainly dogs are mans best friend why should they be put to sleep if we can’t be.
 * Argument -** Most people feel that euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide shouldn’t be legal, but some feel it should.


 * Opinon –** I feel that people that are for it and people that are not for it are technically both correct.
