In the circle of life, everybody must follow four steps: be born, elderly, be sick and die. As people know, they cannot parry the death. However, in some circumstances, they are the decision people, who will choose between the death and life; it is based on their expectations. In Oxford dictionary, euthanasia means the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. In my opinion, I absolutely agree that euthanasia should be legalized which releases the physical and soul pain for the patients and their families.
Physical pain and the way euthanasia help the patients are linked to each other clearly which the opposers cannot deny. How do the patients feel when they have been suffering the pain? Painful, tired, exhausted, disappointed and discouraged- these are the feeling of the patients who live with the incurable and painful diseases day by day. To them, life is not colorful and dynamic as surrounding people feel and live. Their life would be grey and tasteless if their illness cannot be cured. The days they live are being counted down day by day and they can do nothing. They live with an incurable disease and suffer painful everyday for what? It looks like a nightmare which is never end. In this position, they only have 2 choices: one is suffering painful and weary day by day, at the end they die or euthanasia can make them die quickly and easily which release them from daily physical pain.
In some situations, the euthanasia is only way which can rescue the patients and their family members from the soul pain and overpressure of long time cure. It is said that when patients suffers the physical pain, their family members would suffer the soul pain 10 times than that. If you are their family member, how would you feel when looking them suffering painful hour by hour, day by day? People can stand with that situation in short term but how about long term; 5 years, 10 years…To them, time flows slowly with the repetitive nightmare never ends. Moreover, to the rich families, the money is nothing. They can spend several millions every month without any worries. On the other hand, to the family middle class, the money is really a burden. Their family members must overwork more than 72 hours per week to get enough money for the long time cure. Moreover, the ability of hospital fee payments to the poor families is impossible. To them, they do not have enough money to buy food so how can they have money to pay hospital fees.
Looking the family members who are suffering painful day by day is not an easy action. Moreover, the feeling of looking their relative die is worse than that a thousand times. However, life is not easy than people thought. It leads them to the situation where the patients or their families are the decision people who choose between live or death. Some people can think that euthanasia is a action which against the human right, but have they ever thought that let someone suffering painful day by day from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma is the right choice of human right? The family members will never ever know how the patients feel if they are not in those circumstances. There are only two things in the world people would never ever know; which are how someone feels and what they think about. If the patients decide to die, the family members should agree with it. That action shows how they respect someone. Needless to say, I agree with this statement; euthanasia should be legalized.
