After reading Of Mice and Men and the two news articles, what is your stance on euthanasia? Is "mercy" killing a legitimate way to ending someones life?
I believe that euthanasia is an action taken to help an anguished person who is in need of a better place and thereby, is a legitimate way of ending someones life. Often times a suffering person would wish to be put out of his or her misery by someone they love, and if you really love someone, reluctantly, you let them go and carry out with their final decision. A person has the right to do what is the best for another person. Although a family member would strongly disagree and ominously tell them that they could make it through their situation, it's like they are going against that person's last wish of finally being able to help make them happy. If a person is unable to live their life freely, what more reason is there for them to carry out life? Many people who would like to die, have been wishing that they were dead for a very long, morose time, and often times, look very sullen due to all of the agony and pain caused by their condition. If you were to place yourself in a similar situation of an artificial life, you too, would experience the agony and pain and after a long period of time, would like to go through euthanasia. By putting a person out of their misery, you are agreeing to help them die in peace. Everyone has the right to live, but everyone also has the right to die.
