Euthanasia, otherwise known as mercy killing is used to end a life prematurely, however this is done so as to lessen the victim's sufferings.
I believe mercy killing should be authorized under strict conditions. By strict conditions, I mean under the supervision of family members and doctors in charge of the patient. Also, the patient must be certified to have no chance of a turnaround in his or her conditions.
Mercy killing can be done to lessen not only the victim’s suffering but also the family members too. It is tough for a mother to see her very own son lying in bed, day after day with medical supports hooked up all over his body, and having no hope of a recovery. It would have been better to let the victim go in peace, to die with honor, instead of succumbing in the end with tons of wires poked into the body.
Mercy killing may sound barbaric. How can we end a person’s life without his consent? He can not speak for himself, so how can we pass judgment to him and ‘sentence’ him to death? But I would ask, then how can u know he does not want the pain to end?
This topic is very taboo as it comprises of human life in it. Some of the people who have friends and relatives who are in this kind of condition have expressed their wish for euthanasia. They do not want their loved ones death prolonged. And I agreed with them as what is the use of extending a life if he got no chance to recover.
In conclusion, Mercy killing should be authorized as it saves people the hardship of watching their loved ones die slowly.
