Nowadays, there is a heated debate going
on regarding euthanasia, otherwise known as assisted suicide. Supporters
of euthanasia argue that it is cruel to keep alive terminally ill
people who are suffering constantly. However, pain and suffering are
just as much a part of life as good health and happiness are. First,
life is precious and no one, regardless of the amount of suffering
he might be experiencing, has the right to take his life. Second,
euthanasia could be abused whenever the interest of the patient is
in conflict with those of the family or medical community. ______________________________.
For these reasons, patients should not be granted the right to kill
themselves.
