Euthanasia, or mercy killing, has been in the news more and more recently. Many people are strongly against such a practice, but there is a growing demand to have it legalized. How far do you agree with euthanasia being made legal? Euthanasia is a serious political, moral and ethical subject in today's society. In other words, mercy killing is a highly contentious issue. In both sides of the debate people giving strong emotion reasons on this matter. Some people are of the opinion that ending the suffering life of a fellow human is an act of mercy and it should be enshrined in the law. Admittedly, there are several instances where people who are experiencing with appalling suffering and, the only way out is to end their life. However, there is a question as to whether that, as a humans do we have the right to decide when the life of another person should be ended? That would be presumptuous in the extreme. And who can guarantee that people will not be murdered in the name of euthanasia in order to abuseing the victim's position. On the other hand, it is totally unacceptable to take a life. Doctors are bound by oath to preserve the life of their patients and they should not be forced into a situation where they are have to decideing to terminate a life. In addition, there have always been been the probability of human's error. It could be possible to kill the a wrong person and there is no warranty that this will not happen, because there is a vast number of man-made problems during history for example babies have been switched or wrong limbs removed. The list is endless. Above all, there is also the possibility of finding the cure for the illness after the person has been killed. To put it in a nutshell, I argue that we are not allowed to decide about the human's lifespan morally. Who knows where it might lead to. There are some things in life that are best to be left them alone.
