In conclusion, I advocate voluntary euthanasia for many reasons and believe many of us would do if we just put ourselves in the patients’ shoes. I understand why the patients and their family and friends want voluntary euthanasia. I believe once the ‘End of Life Choices’ bill passes, it would please many people even if they are not involved in these situations. Many argue it is human right to end our own suffering and voluntary euthanasia should be legal and I support this argument. I believe voluntary euthanasia should be legal but practised by specialists under some circumstance and in my opinion legalising voluntary euthanasia should not affect the opposers. As there are two different point of views to this issue, legalising voluntary euthanasia and also providing palliative care would satisfy both sides and which choice they make all depend on themselves. I also believe it is human right to end one’s own suffering and prolonging foreseen future is not the answer.
On one voluntary euthanasia debating website, 65% supports voluntary euthanasia and 35% are against this idea. Like this statistics, it shows euthanasia is greatly wanted and needed. Some people bring up the idea that idea of prematurely ending one’s life is immoral and against God’s words. They argue that it is just the way nature flows and human should not disturb it. There are two incidents of suicide in the bible. There is no comment made suicide is bad or good and does not state clearly if this action is against God’s words. Many religious people argue that it is sin to take one’s life or one’s own life without God’s permission, I think that whatever choice we want to make should not be focused on beliefs.
