Question: Should euthanasia for the terminally ill be legalized? Why or why not? Issues to consider when formulating your responses:
Does every citizen have "a right to die" at a time of their choosing especially if they are experiencing immense pain and suffering?Does the legalization of voluntary euthanasia create a slippery slope towards involuntary euthanasia (e. g., terminal patients may "choose" euthanasia because they are being pressured by family members or may feel guilty about being a burden on them)?Is it a moral imperative to preserve the "sanctity of life" at all costs?Is it immoral to impose one person's religious beliefs, that s. u.c. I.d. e is morally wrong, on another individual and deny that person, who is suffering, the choice to end their pain?

Definition of euthanasia: The act or practice of ending the life of a person having a terminal illness or a medical condition that causes suffering perceived as incompatible with an acceptable quality of life, as by lethal injection (active euthanasia) or the suspension of certain medical treatments (passive euthanasia).
