Euthanasia is derived from the Greek word "good death," which means that people have the option of choosing a good death. However, Euthanasia is only permitted in a few countries throughout the world. That is to say, not all countries and governments support euthanasia, which is why it is a hot topic in the globe right now. According to Medical News Today, "Euthanasia or assisted suicide are responsible for a total of between 0.3 and 4.6 percent of deaths in nations where euthanasia or assisted suicide are permitted."

Euthanasia, often characterized as mercy killing or assisted suicide, is the act or practice of putting to death in a painless manner those who are struggling from a severe and incurable illness or physical condition. 

My message is directed at the younger generation and those who are unaware of the issue of euthanasia, in order to raise awareness and educate people about a topic that is rarely discussed in classrooms.

Euthanasia, in my perspective, should be permitted when a patient has given their approval and is suffering from an incurable condition; this is known as voluntary euthanasia. Euthanasia should never be permitted if the patient has not given consent, since I do not believe that the life of a human being should be dictated by anybody else, even if they are a member of the family.

There are two main types of Euthanasia Involuntary and voluntary euthanasia. When a patient is in a state where he or she can offer agreement, it is called voluntary euthanasia. When a patient is unable to give consent or is not in a fit state, involuntary euthanasia is used. “The main difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide is who performs the final, fatal act,” says proffeser Richard Huxtable. 

Because of this a debate arises, because some individuals believe that someone's life should not be in the hands of another person. The most common reasons for euthanasia legalization are that a person's right to die should be a matter of choice. People believe that when it comes to the end of one's life, whether you have a fatal illness or are elderly, you should have a say in what happens to you. Just like how in life we have a lot of freedoms from who we marry  and what sort of work we perform. So why should this be different? The second reason people think that euthanasia should be legalized is that the legislation should be modified to allow anyone with a terrible medical condition that causes unbearable symptoms to have an assisted suicide. 

It makes more sense to channel highly-skilled staff, equipment, hospital beds, and pharmaceuticals towards life-saving therapies for those who choose to survive, rather than those who do not," according to medical news today. People should not be kept alive against their will unnecessarily. However, there are numerous arguments opposing euthanasia. 

Some fear that legalizing euthanasia would result in several negative consequences. It would reduce the amount of protection granted to everyone's lives and allow people who do not actually volunteer to be killed to be killed. Suicide as a treatment for some disorders, they claim, will only diminish doctors' and society's motivation to learn how to show genuine compassion and address patients' suffering and other difficulties.

Care for people in ways that persuade them that they have dignity and that caring for them for as long as they live is a privilege, not a burden, might be one approach. People who may benefit from euthanasia are those who are suffering from a long-term disease and are aware that their time on earth is coming to an end; euthanasia would provide them with a peaceful method to end their misery and pain. Although euthanasia may affect persons who were unable to give consent and/or those who gave approval but didn't truly care and agreed to the death of another person for personal gain.
