Euthanasia, or mercy killing, has been in the news more and more recently. Many people are strongly against such a practice, but there is a growing demand to have it legalized. How far do you agree with euthanasia being legal?

The media have written many articles regarding mercy killing, and it has now become a hot topic of discussion.

However

, even though several people are against

such

a horrific method, few people believe that

euthanasia

should be made legal.

Moreover

, I have to completely disagree with the given Idea since I find it an area where many ethical issues exist.

First

and foremost, there is a strong chance of misuse of

this

method.

Euthanasia

should be carried out if a person is in a critical place due to severe disease and no other techniques can help them return to everyday life.

For instance

, a person severely burned is in a critical condition, and no pain relievers or other medications are found to be effective.

Nevertheless

, in the case of legalization, it has become a common practice among medical practitioners. Any patient can be subjected to

such

a procedure for alternative motives without valid reasons.

Secondly

, in most cases, consent to perform

euthanasia

is not provided by the patients; usually, it is done by family members or relatives;

this

brings up a serious issue regarding whether or not it is something that the patient prefers.

For instance

, in cases of dispute over inheritance from a seriously ill family member, relatives may acquire an illegal document that gives consent to carry out a mercy killing. In conclusion, only a tiny percentage of people support

such

ideas since there are a lot of ethical issues with the

euthanasia

of a person.

Moreover

, I strongly recommend

first

sorting out

such

problems before legalizing mercy killing.
