Conclusion: Why Euthanasia Should Be Allowed
Today, we have argued that euthanasia is a compassionate and ethical choice for those suffering from
extreme pain with no hope of recovery. It is about giving people control over their own lives and
allowing them to die peacefully rather than forcing them to suffer.
Here are the key reasons why euthanasia should be applied:
1.autonomy of the patient - autonomy is the ability to act and make decisions without being controlled
by anyone else.human persons are free and autonomous, and therefore may choose a peaceful death
rather than bearing the indignity of a life no longer worth living. These patients believe that they are
better off dead than alive because they no longer find value in their lives.
2. Eliminating Unbearable Suffering:Even with the best palliative care, some patients still experience
excruciating pain or unbearable emotional distress.Medicine should focus on relieving suffering, not
forcing people to endure it until their natural death.A powerful example is Mrs. Brittany Maynard, a
young woman with terminal brain cancer. She chose assisted suicide to avoid the long, painful process
of dying naturally. Brittany believed this was her right, and no one should deny her that. To her, dying
with dignity was more humane than months of severe physical and emotional pain.
1. Compassionate and Ethical Healthcare:The true role of doctors is not just to keep people alive, but to
make sure they live—and die—with dignity. Euthanasia supports the core medical principle of reducing
suffering. It is not reckless or chaotic; countries like Canada and the Netherlands have proven that it can
be ethical, carefully regulated, and respectful of both the patient and the medical profession.
2. A More Dignified Death:Terminal illness often steals a person’s control over their body, mind, and
even identity. Euthanasia gives patients a final say—a chance to pass peacefully, surrounded by loved
ones, instead of fading away in pain and helplessness. It’s about choosing dignity over despair.
3. Prevention of Suicide Attempts:When euthanasia is illegal, some people in unbearable pain feel
forced to take matters into their own hands—alone, afraid, and without medical support. Legalizing
euthanasia replaces these desperate acts with a safe, supervised, and humane option. It prevents silent
tragedies by offering a peaceful alternative.
1.Many countries have legalized euthanasia with strict rules. Can you give real examples where it led to
dangerous misuse?Many countries like Belgium, Canada, and the Netherlands have legalized euthanasia
successfully. If they can do it safely, why can’t we?
2.If someone doesn’t believe euthanasia is right for religious reasons, why should they have the right to
stop others from making their own choice?
3.What about people who don’t believe in heaven and hell? Should they be forced to suffer just because
of someone else’s belief?
4.if they ask like"think about afterlife,how do you know you get to heaven or hell?
If a person is in excruciating pain with no chance of recovery, should we really tell them, "Keep suffering
because we don’t know what happens after you die"?
"We don’t know what happens after death, but we do know what happens in life—unbearable suffering.
The law should focus on protecting people's right to choose, not forcing them to suffer based on
uncertain religious beliefs."
5.if they ask like"its actually against religion..."
Many religious teachings emphasize love, mercy, and kindness—forcing someone to suffer endlessly
goes against these principles.
Would a compassionate God want people to endure unbearable pain with no hope of relief?
5.if they say like this"its actually getting into God's business..."
Free Will is Also Part of God's Plan,People already make life-and-death choices in medicine, such as
turning off life support or refusing aggressive treatments. Why is euthanasia different?
1. "Euthanasia devalues human life and could be misused." → Strict laws and medical rules ensure it is
only used in extreme cases.
2. "A cure might be found in the future." → Some diseases have no possible cure, and forcing people to
wait in suffering is unfair.
3. "Doctors should save lives, not end them." → Modern medicine focuses on reducing suffering, and
euthanasia is an extension of that duty.
4. "It goes against religion." → Not everyone follows the same beliefs, and laws should respect individual
choices.
5. "Vulnerable people might feel pressured to die." → Strict guidelines and psychological evaluations
prevent this.
6. "Palliative care is a better solution." → While helpful, it does not always stop suffering, and patients
should have the choice.
7. "It could lead to euthanasia being misused." → Countries where euthanasia is legal have strict
safeguards, and there is no evidence of misuse.
Euthanasia is not about promoting death—it is about offering mercy and relief to those who have no
other options. It allows people to die with dignity, prevents unnecessary pain, and gives individuals the
right to decide their own fate. This is why we firmly support the application of
