First draft.

Mercy is the main argument of people who are for euthanasia; it is merciful to end the unbearable suffering of a person. On the contrary, it is supposed when people suffer, they get supported emotionally, given suitable pain relievers till their lives end naturally. It has nothing to do with mercy to kill people just to stop their suffering. Cost reduction is another argument of those who support physician-assisted suicide. However, permitting euthanasia for the sake of cost reduction will make it the first option for poor people who cannot afford health care expenses. The value of life is another ambiguous term that people look at from different perspective. Nonetheless, others do not believe like that.

Outline

Introduction

Euthanasia or the “right to die” has become debated issue recently as some countries such as Netherlands, Switzerland and Oregon State have already made it legal. However, most of the world still considers it to be a crime, and it must not be permitted by all means. Fans of euthanasia claim that it is mercy, freedom to choose, or even saving money. This is a deviated way of thinking calls for destroying every aspect of humanity and ethics.People who support euthanasia look at it only from materialistic point of view based on wrong assumptions.

Conclusion

It should be obvious that euthanasia is just a crime of murder that does not differ much from other murders. It assumes that accelerating the patient’s death is mercy, and also saves some money. However, human ethics have been and would still be incomparable with materialistic criteria. Accepting euthanasia is dangerous and might get out of control someday; it might get broadened in the future, and become the easiest way to not face the life’s challenges. It would become another face for suicide but legal suicide.
