What is Euthanasia? Well it is a way of ending the life of a person if they are suffering. Usually being a sick person that has no chance of recovering and will just be in pain for the rest of their life. Now Euthanasia comes from Greek words having eu meaning good and thanatos meaning death. So instead of living a terrible painful death they would have euthanasia to end it giving them a good ending of their life. In 1870, a person named Samuel Williams proposed using morphine and anesthetics to end a patient's life. Then 35 years go by having people debate about euthanasia being a ok thing to do to people. 1906 there was an Ohio bill to legalize euthanasia but it ended up getting defeated.
There are different types of euthanasia for how people can die. The first one is the active authanasia which is killing a patient by active means. For example, injecting someone with a lethal dose of a drug to kill them. Next one would be the passive euthanasia and that is by intentionally letting a patient die by withholding life support. Like not giving them a ventilator or feeding tubes or if they are on them removing them. Another one would be if the patient wants to die and could be giving the option known as voluntary euthanasia. There are a lot more types of euthanasia that are kind of like the same thing but having different ways and techniques on how they do it. But in the end they are killing the patient so they don't suffer the pain they would if they kept on living.
They're more people discussing on euthanasia arguing if killing the patients is an ok thing to do rather then them living their life until they die on their own causes. There are also claims about how people have the own rights to what they want to do when they want to die. Then people argue of mercy killing or people that are in no chance of recovery letting them take useless treatments that won't affect them. One big one is about killing vs letting them die and how it ends up being the same ending with the patient dead. Everyone's morality is about having a person die from natural causes is not as bad as compared to actually physically ending someones life especially an innocent person.

I agree that people shouldn't go through the pain and suffering if they don't have to because it is hard to watch people in pain.
What do you think about Euthanasia? I belive that it is ok If i were suffering or in major pain I would probaley like to have it done aswell but it could be bad since somepepole might be presured into it wich would not be good since the faimly might get mad at the doctore presuring them into it
Do you believe it is ok? I 2belive it is as long as the family is ok whith it and the person is ok with it. it is a great way to put someone down if they are in major pain or suffering. I belive that if we can do it to dogs we should be abel to do it to humanes.
I agree that it should be ok with the family and the person as well and it is a good way to put someone away if they are just suffering.
I believe euthanasia is useful for when people are suffering a lot and want to be put out of their misery. It's just a nice way to put people to death without harming them or them feeling pain. I also think it's ok that people use it as long as they are fully aware of what they are about to do. I don't know which euthanasia I would use.
What do you think about Euthanasia? I think that it is ok if the family or the person has an order to follow through with it.
I think that it could be beneficial. It manages to provide an end to those people who are sick and suffering from something that is incurable. But there are also reasons why it could not be beneficial. Some people could view it as how it undermines human life and the risk of people feeling pressured to choose it.
