Pro Euthanasia Research Paper

She is laying there, motionless, unable to speak. If she could, she would desperately beg you to
help her. Each movement, a moan... each breath...excruciating. The agonizing, torturous pain
has left her weak, desperate, broken. The hope for recovery, long gone. The pain, over time,
will continue to increase while the pain medication’s effectiveness diminishes. How long will
she continue to suffer? How long until her last breath? A year? A month? No one knows for
sure. All she can look forward to is death because only then will she be free of these bonds of overwhelming pain and torment.
Is all this pain truly necessary? Euthanasia is a very real, very viable, very compassionate way
of carrying out a loved one’s wishes... The term Euthanasia

actually originated from the Greek
word for "good death." It is when someone intentionally ends a life in order to relieve their
pain or their suffering. Euthanasia is a simple procedure that offers a quick, painless and
dignified death. It is the act or practice of ending the life of a person either by lethal injection
or the suspension of medical treatment. 

There are three types of euthanasia, voluntary is when an ill patient will request to be helped
to die, involuntary is when someone end's a person's life without their consent, active is the
end of a person's life by drugs and passive is the end of a person's life by not having the
necessary actions to maintain a life.  This practice should be an option available to all
terminally ill patients. Our great free nation guarantees many other freedoms. This option
should be included. Each person should be allowed to make decisions regarding their body,
their life. It is legal in many other countries so why not Canada. It is absolutely inhumane to
tolerate and even force people to endure this intractable suffering. No government should have
that kind of power over a person’s body or choices.

The right to die goes along with the right to live. As Martin Luther King once said,“No one is
truly free to live until one is free to die.”
