Should euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide be legal?

Hey bloggers, today I'm going to write about a topic that is very interesting and very current to generate a discussion and analize different points of view. In the first place is necessary to know what is euthanasia? According to The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary Euthanasia "is the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopeless sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy". So with this definition we have pros and cons about the same topic. Here we have some pros about euthanasia: 

-Michael Irwin, former Medical Director at the United Nations and current Coordinator of the Society for Old Age Rational Suicide (SOARS) stated: "The right to die should be a matter of personal choice: I am pro life, I want to live as long as I possibly can, but I also believe the law should be changed to let anyone with some severe medical condition which is causing unbereable symptoms to have an assisted suicide. I wouldn't want to be unnecessarily kept alive against my own will".

-Brittany Maynard, a 29 year old with a malignant brain tumor, stated the fllowing: "There is not a cell in my body that is suicidal or that wants to die. I want to live. I wish there was a cure for my disease but there's not. My glioblastoma is going to kill me, and that's out of my control...it's a terrible way to die. Being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying...Right now it's a choice that's only available to some Americans, wich is really unethical".

In the other side there are cons:

George Delgado, MD, Medical Director and family practuce physician at Culture of Life Family Care said: "Physician-assisted suicide does damage to patiens who are in very difficult situations. It does damage to the medical profession. It compromises the sacred trust between physician and patient, which should be based on healing, not based on killing".

According to the previous arguments that show us the different positions of people respect if euthanasia should be legal, we can say that there is a war between the ethical and moral, because as human being we have the right to live and decide about us, we can also decide if you don't want to continue your suffering caused by a terminal disease, helping to have a dignified and less painful death.
