Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or a irreversible coma. It is illegal in most countries. I find this to be a difficult subject to agree or disagree on. I think I would have to agree with its practice though. I think it should always be up to the person who is suffering however this can be difficult because if you are in a coma you cant talk and it is impossible to know what the person in the coma is thinking if anything. I think if this is the case then it should be up to the family to decide what to do the person. Many times the family would want the person to live even if they are suffering. If you have a incurable disease then I think it should be up to the person suffering because they can make decisions. I would personally want to make the best of what time I had left and try and have as much fun as possible. I would also insist that the doctors try to find a cure. If I had lost all my limbs but was still going to live then I would probably want to be killed.
