Euthanasia

It is the most extreme disrespect for a government to override an individuals decision to exit. If death is inevitable but the process will be drawn out, undignified and filled with pain then how can anybody have the audacity to veto your desire to retain a little dignity and fore go the entirely negative process of the agony of a long, drawn own death? It is presumptuous to think that medicine keeping people alive and suffering to the end is the correct way. Modern medicine may not be right in trying to keep people alive who truly have no life at all and never will again. If you are suffering and would like to die on your own terms, even as the last bastion of control over your own failing body, would it not be okay to take your life into you own hands and end the suffering? For terminally ill patients, there is no turning back. It wastes resources and hospital space to keep people alive who are not even hanging on anymore. Imagine how many people could get care if the people who were left waiting to die were not taking up the resources keeping them from death only for a little longer. Patients deserve to choose their own fate. Euthanasia can also give survivors of the deceased some comfort knowing their loved one did not suffer any more than was absolutely necessary.
