euthanasia

Euthanasia is the practice of injecting dying people with deadly substances to make the death less painful and the family pays less hospital bill. On my opinion the practice of euthanasia should be legalized. The people who are legal to be injected is they who are dying and cannot be cured, or having a total paralysis in their body. They suffer a lot and I think their pain is unbearable. Doing a routine surgery, breathing by oxygen tank, not being able to do any daily activities is some of the grueling reality that they have to face everyday. And we can relieve their burden by doing euthanasia on him/her.

The second reason for me to think of this idea is because not only the patient who suffers, but also the family. The fact is, hospital bill increases every year. Because of this the family whose member is dying suffers a great deal of financial problem by paying the cost of the treatment, which generally shows no sign of improvement. Without any disrespect, the patients in that condition usually have lower than 1% chance to live. By using euthanasia, this tragedy can be avoided and the hospital cost will greatly be reduced.
