There are two sides to the argument of legalizing euthanasia that many people feel very passionate about, despite which side they are arguing for. It is very difficult to argue without being in the position. The people supporting euthanasia believe it is their own "right" to die and that it should not be taken away from them. There are three main points of persuasion at euthanasia.com that defend their opinion that they should be allowed to choose their right to live or die in dire situations.

In July 2011 it was revealed that a man by the name of Dr. Lawrence Egbert has picked up where Dr. Jack Kevorkian had left off, and was being named the new "Dr. Death". He has apparently been active in this job for a long time, having had already "assisted" in the death's of over 300 people, a fairly large number compared to Dr. Kevorkian's ~130.  Dr. Egbert is part of an organization called the Final Exit Network, a group in support of euthanasia.

Since the death of Dr. Jack Kevorkian the option of assisted suicide has disappeared for many suffering patients looking for a way out. Dr. Kevorkian used to hold almost "interview's" with patients, and after hearing their situation, would decide whether or not he believes they are eligible for his help in assisted suicide. He did turn away many patients because he didn't believe "depression" was a reason somebody should be able to end their life. He only helped those with terminally ill diseases, with little or no chance of any recovery, who are in constant pain or discomfort.

Euthanasia, or assisted suicide, should be made legal in the United States. Most people hear the word suicide and assume this has to be some ugly kind of mess involving depression and confusion, but in cases such as euthanasia, it is truly helping to end the suffering of a person with a terminal illness. I believe these people should have the choice to decide how their suffering ends and should be able to make peace with their exit of the world. If your family member was in constant pain and suffering, would you want them to have the option to stop it?
