Euthanasia should not be legalized
Euthanasia refers to exposing patients who from incurable diseases to painless death. It is
also referred to as mercy killing or assisted suicide. Euthanasia should not be legalized.

suffering from incurable diseases to die in dignity

. According to them, those suffering from
irreversible ailments should be assisted to die without pain if they cannot do it on their own. The
proponents argue that our bodies are patients’ own and therefore we should not be denied the
right to do what we want with them

. Euthanasia is a crime and should be treated as such.
Euthanasia abuses the sanctity of life and the fact that life is given by God who is the only
one with the power to take it. If Euthanasia is legalized, there would be a massive violation of
