The document discusses doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia, noting they are similar in that doctors aid patients to end their suffering. It argues that euthanasia should be legal in cases where a patient has an incurable illness or medical condition and desires to end their life, as making the choice available is the morally right thing to do, rather than forcing an unassisted suicide attempt. However, euthanasia should only be considered under extreme circumstances for a condition that cannot be treated or recover from. The decision should be made by the affected individual rather than their family.

This shows the presentation of a
doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Both are similar because the doctor-assisted suicide is if a patient desires it, a doctor will aid them in ending their suffering while euthanasia is when using a painless method, a doctor is permitted by law to put someone's life to end as long as the patient and the family permits it. Euthanasia is still being argued if it should be legal or not because in most eyes euthanasia is considered wrong and immoral. Euthanasia is something I believe should be allowed to those with incurable illnesses or other problems, and I believe that this is a good thing. Euthanasia ought to be allowed because, in my opinion, that is the morally right thing to do. It is a better alternative than making an unassisted suicide attempt. Euthanasia, in my opinion, should not be performed if your disease can be treated and you are able to recover. It should only be performed in extreme circumstances, such as those where an event has rendered you severely handicapped. In my opinion, the decision should be made by the person affected rather than the family.
