Answer #1

I am in agreement with the suggestion that euthanasia should be legalised on a case to case basis. I am not advocating euthanasia for everyone who is undergoing treatment for some terminal illness or incurable diseases but if the patient is not left with any willpower to suffer through and the clinical opinion of the doctor also concurs to the incurability then the decision of the patient or the trusted caregiver should be respected. I see no merit in lingering the pain and suffering of the person and snatch away their dignity. An argument against would be that to kill a person is morally wrong. It is morally wrong to injure or harm another person unless it is done to save a life. It could be possible that in due course of time the person may become better or some kind of clinical intervention gets discovered and the life is saved.
