Euthanasia

Euthanasia is when you kill someone who is in dire pain and the doctor, the patient, or close people close to the patient. It’s illegal in most countries so I have mixed feelings on it. I feel like in some situations it should be allowed. But it shouldn’t be up to the doctor or family/ friends of the patient. If the patient is in a coma then I don’t think it should ever be put to death because there have been a lot of situations when the patient has woken up from a coma and been perfectly fine. It is a really tough situation because I think you should decide your death but you shouldn’t just let someone die just because they want to. You should only willingly kill someone if they are in extreme pain and close to death. I’m not really sure what to think about euthanasia because I don’t think anyone should die just because they are depressed or they see no need in life anymore. I think its necessary if they know death is coming and the days they are alive they would witness bad pain. In other cases, when they say you have ___ many days to live then you should live out your life and do the things you always wanted to do. I’m not really sure about my thoughts on it but I can understand why it is illegal in most countries.
