Euthanasia is a highly controversial subject. When talking about this topic, people look to find the pros and cons. The benefits of euthanasia can greatly outweigh the consequences. Some of the greatest perks of euthanasia are:
1.)Reduced pain and suffering for the ill.
2.)The family will be spending less money on treatment, and keeping the sick member alive when they might not even want to be.
3.)The patient will no longer feel miserably about being a "burden" on others if they can receive euthanasia.
4.)Euthanasia would allow the patient to feel more independent, rather than relying on other people to help them with every event in their life.
Euthanasia is most supported and seen as a positive thing, when being used for patients who are terminally ill, or have an incredibly harsh disease or cancer. Many people believe euthanasia should be legalized throughout the world for specific uses, and that the physician should approve the case before granting the approval of euthanasia.
Many individuals would feel reassured, knowing that euthanasia is an option for their end-of-life care. In fact, 41.6% of cancer patients and 44.4% of the public stated that discussing end-of-life care is reassuring and that it increases their trust in their physicians.
70% of people say euthanasia by painless means should be legal.
86% of the public support euthanasia when being used for terminally ill.
54% of practitioners support euthanasia.
