4: Euthanasia should be legal in our country


My answer is yes to regular euthanasia as an individual right. To clarify this option, first its definition: euthanasia is the active cause of the death of the patient who requests it to end the grave sufferings. The reasons that regularly justify this matter are diverse. First, because it is demanded by broad sectors of the population. Another factor that supports it is the effective recognition of freedom and autonomy for patients. The right to decide on one's death must be recognized as a fundamental human right because it is an ethically and politically justified demand. The Netherlands was the first European country to legalize euthanasia. The law came into force in 2002. It was followed by Belgium, Colombia and later Luxembourg. Switzerland and Finland also have favorable legislation, but only approve assisted suicide.

My main argument to say that euthanasia should be legal in the country is to allow the person to put an end to unnecessary and degrading sufferings that do not allow him to lead a dignified life, but of pain and agony, a situation that would undermine the free development of his personality and his dignity as a human person, thus avoiding being subjected to a therapeutic fierceness, before the advances of medical science, and the desire of doctors to keep a being alive without hope of recovery. In this way, it is how the need to legalize euthanasia arises in order to approve the exercise of a dignified death, under strict conditions that prevent its abuse.

Thanks for reading, regards.
